Description (What the record is about)
-
Contains registered files relating to the oversight of Rolls Royce before and after its nationalisation in 1971, generated by successive divisions within the Ministry of Aviation Supply, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Industry. Subjects covered include the establishment of Rolls Royce (1971) Ltd as a nationalised company, relations with its receivers, relations with the National Enterprise Board, the valuation of its assets, its finances, appointments, and engine production. A small number of papers were copied or re-registered into this series from earlier files of the Ministry of Technology.

Arrangement (Information about the filing sequence or logical order of the record)
-
Arrangement
The ET file series originated in the Ministry of Aviation Supply in either late 1970 or, more probably, early 1971. Although there are some earlier Mintech papers on the files, the ET prefix does not seem to have been used by Mintech. There is a small amount of re-registration from Air C Division's XN prefix but other Mintech papers are copies from other files.

The Air D Division resided in the Ministry of Aviation Supply (MAS) from October 1970 until May 1971, when the MAS was closed down and the division transferred to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Within DTI, the division was first known as Air 3 Division and from 1972 as Air Division. In 1974 Air Division became part of the Department of Industry (DoI) and since 1983 when DoI was amalgamated with the Department of Trade, Air Division has been located within the second DTI. In 1990 Air Division was renamed the Air Task Force and in 1992 it became known as Aerospace Division.
The Air 3 Division of the first DTI dealt exclusively with matters relating to Rolls Royce, whilst the concerns of the Air Division of the DoI and the second DTI shifted away from relations with the Rolls Royce receiver towards government relations with Rolls Royce (1971) Ltd as a nationally owned company.
