Summary

This book originated from a perception that the causes of the nationalisation of the 1940s in Britain were very thinly treated in the literature. John Singleton and I discussed this gap in industrial history and decided to organise a conference of those academics in Britain who had detailed knowledge of particular industries. We are grateful to the Nuffield Foundation for providing part of the finance for the conference which was held at St Anselm's Hall, University of Manchester in April 1993. The University also provided financial help from its Small Grants Fund and since altogether some forty people attended, the Conference was a great success. John Singleton was then a Lecturer at the University but was about to depart for a tenured post in New Zealand. Subsequently he and I have communicated regularly in editing the Conference papers. We are grateful for John Wilson's help with the organisation and finances of the Conference and we would like to thank Freda Diggle and Fran Morris of the History Department for help with the Conference and with the preparation of this book.
