| Inhoud: |
Prompted by the prominence given to environmental issues by present-day business, the article assesses the part played by the UK 'peak' body, the Federation of British Industries in the inter-war years. The response of the Federation to demands for further curbs on air and water pollution reveals not only the anxieties of members as to the impact of closer regulation on industrial competitiveness, but the strength and character of the relationship that existed between business and government. Within the environmental arena, questions of the most fundamental kind arose as to how far industry might be expected to regulate its own excesses, take a more coherent and forceful stance on issues of public concern, and welcome a more interventionist approach from government. |
