Reconstituted in 1951, following a report by the [second] Social and Industrial Commission (paper C.A.992). This new revised body was to be called 'Social and Industrial Council of the Church Assembly' (paper C.A.992A). Its functions were to be as follows: 'to consider social, industrial and economic questions referred to it by the Church Assembly or by the Archbishops'; 'to bring to the attention of the Church Assembly social, industrial and economic questions, to indicate as far as may be the religious and moral issues involved, and to provide the Assembly, by means of reports its judgement on such questions'. \r\n\r\nIn 1958 the Council was brough under the supervision of the newly formed Board of Social Responsibility (BSR). In February 1959 the Council asked BSR to dissolve it, 'with the view to the constitution and development in other ways of the work for which the Council had until then been responsible.'
