Tripartism and its Limits

Chapter 4 in Industry, Unions and Government, 1983, pp 69-88 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Four months after the 1970 election, the new Conservative government introduced a White Paper The Reorganisation of Central Government which formalised its commitment to disengage from industry. In a political framework henceforward dominated by the giant Department of Trade and Industry (created out of the Board of Trade and the Ministry of Technology) NEDC’s position became uncertain, and its chance of carrying forward the ‘Economic Assessment to 1972’ on the basis of another government-authorised planning document such as The Task Ahead, in consultation with industries and EDCs, disappeared.
