Administrative / biographical background

The Industrial and Commercial Policy Division (IC) emerged from the 1973 reorganisation of three existing IC Divisions, IC 1, IC 2, and IC 3. The primary responsibility of this new IC Division was consideration of the economic and social implications of the Department of Trade and Industry's policies generally. It was also responsible for the consideration of those policies pursued by other government departments which affected industrial performance (particularly economic, fiscal, environmental, manpower and education policy). Additionally, the Division co-ordinated the long-term aspects of the Department's policies in the industrial field.
