Papers of Sir Godfrey Herbert Ince as successively Secretary of the Production Executive, Director-General of Manpower and Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Labour and National Service. The series comprises folders of annotated committee papers, with some correspondence, departmental minutes and draft memoranda of the Manpower Committee (1940-1945), set up to examine the current and required distribution of manpower during wartime.
The records mainly concern surveys carried out of, for example, age analysis and population distributions in different occupations, the current distribution of man-power between the armed forces and civil defence, munitions and government services, exports, home markets and services to the civilian population, and estimated future requirements of manpower.
