Concorde Division was established in 1971 to administer all aspects of the Concorde project. In 1977 its name was changed to the Concorde and Nationalisation Compensation Division to reflect a change of emphasis when the division became responsible for negotiations for compensation under the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act 1977. The division was wound up in 1981.
