Current Account ‐ The National Enterprise Board

Abstract

Ever since the National Enterprise Board set up shop with Lord Ryder in the chairman's seat, politicians and industrialists alike have been speculating on the kind of role it would come to play on the industrial scene. Its ill‐fated predecessor, the Industrial Reorganisation Corporation, had developed a swashbuckling style in its earlier days, but by the time it was forced to put up the shutters when Mr. Heath's administration decided to put it down in 1971 it had turned business opinion round a point or two in its favour to the extent that several prominent businessmen not noted for their attachment to the idea of state intervention in industry had agreed to serve as Board members.
