Scope and content

Nicholson begins "Its no use Jack, I am having to resign again, with ever more decision than before ... the cospirators in their impatience to be eid of B. [Sir Basil Blackett] have been quite ready to upset the whole programme of work and organisations so as to place the official head for the coming period in the hands of Industry [PEP Industry Group] - i.e. Sieff." He writes that he and Gerald Barry "in a majority of 2 against Blackett, Sieff, Neal, Hall, Dower, Davison, Lindsay & Bunbury". He and Barry now propose to resigning from the `Directorate, but not from PEP itself and Nicholson wishes the TEC PLAN Group to consider "group attitude" at its forth coming meeting. Meanwhile Nicholson, Spicer and Gordon Clark "favour working in our own and requesting the Directorate to classify us all as (c) reserve members ... We think outright resignation would look like personal feud, and be imcompatable with settled TECPLAN policy". Jack Pritchard is asked to telegraph Nicholson with his view on the course of action Nicholson proposes.
