They were then controlled successively by the Ministry of Labour (May 1940 - July 1942), the Ministry of Production (July 1942 - 1945), the Board of Trade (1945 - October 1947), the Ministry of Economic Affairs (October - November 1947), the Treasury (November 1947 - February 1952) and again the Board of Trade until they were disbanded in January 1965.
