Taylor Kenkel
A file of memoranda, graphs, and statistical information concerning the workings of the Lord President's Committee on domestic affairs during the Second World War. The documents discuss the impact of German V-1 flying bombs on Britain's industrial productivity; ongoing developments in the price of British coal; and a steady improvement in Britain's reserve stocks of food, fuel, and raw materials, partly driven by a fall in the amount of shipping sunk by the enemy. The documents also cover developments in Britain's overseas trade, particularly its reception of aid from the United States of America under the lend-lease agreement; and the committee's predictions regarding how British trade in certain key goods will progress after the war ends. Other documents comment on a new education bill; the payment of pensions to British ex-servicemen and their families; and a proposal to open a new aeronautical research institute in Britain.
