Scope and content

Herbert [Spencer] comments on Jack Pritchard's manuscript. He discusses their work at the Furniture Development Council, Industrial Boards and pre-war Trade Associations. He compares pre and post war government's approach to industry and gives an "idea of the ramshackle industry we found. I remember all sorts of interesting revelations, mostly on the side of commercial policy". He goes on to use [Herman] Lebus and Jays and Cavendish as examples, and discusses "Wolfson and his team"
