Title
Ministry of Technology and Department of Trade and Industry: Air C and Secretariat Division and Central Secretariat: Registered Files (PG Series)
Date

1965-1971

Description

Contains registered files generated by successive secretariats within the Ministry of Technology (Mintech) and the Department of Trade and Industry. This series reflects the role of the secretariats in co-ordinating departmental interest in the Parliamentary Select Committee on Science and Technology, and providing secretarial support for the Advisory Council on Technology. Some files have been re-registered from earlier series used by Mintech's International and General Secretariat.

Arrangement
Arrangement

This particular tranche of files in the PG file series was raised in 1969, probably around the time that responsibility for the Department's interest in parliamentary select committees passed from International and General Secretariat Division to Air C and Secretariat Division. The files themselves show signs of re-registration from the GS and IG prefixes.

The Advisory Council on Technology (ACT) was set up in 1964 to advise on the application of advanced technology to those British industries for which Mintech was responsible. The Council, which normally met four or five times a year, was terminated in 1970.
