    ARMAMENTS FIRMS, THE STATE PROCUREMENT SYSTEM, AND THE NAVAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN EDWARDIAN BRITAIN Professor Roger Lloyd-Jones History Department, Sheffield Hallam University Dr. Myrddin John Lewis History Department, Sheffield Hallam University This article examines the relationship between Britain’s armament firms and the state’s procurement system, presenting a case for a Naval Industrial Complex (NIC) in the years immediately before the Great War. It argues that in Edwardian Britain a nuanced set of institutional networks were established between the Admiralty and a small elite group of armament manufacturers. The NIC demonstrates the close collaboration between the armament firms supplying the Admiralty and between the Admiralty and an elite group of private contractors. This article concludes that the NIC did not lead to profiteering by contactors, and they did supply the warships and naval ordnance that enabled Britain to out build Germany in the naval race. This paper examines the relationship in Britain between the armaments industry and the military institutions of the state during the years preceding the Great War, when there were intensifying international tensions, and concerns over Britain’s defense capabilities. Through an assessment of the War Office (WO) and Admiralty procurement system, we apply John Kenneth Galbraith’s theory that businesses may establish institutional networks as “countervailing powers” to mediate business-state relations and, thus, we challenge the proposition that the state acted as a “monopsonist,” dominating contractual relations with private armaments firms.’ We argue that during the years prior to the war, Britain’s Naval Industrial Complex (MC) involved a strengthening collaboration between the British Admiralty and the big armament firms.

It was an honor to know them and a privilege to be taught by them. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation has been a long time in the making and it would not have been possible without the help of many people around the world. I am particularly indebted to Professor William Roger Louis, who has been incredibly patient with me over the eight years it has taken to get this written. Regular work weeks of 60+ hours for years on end made finding the time to advance this project much more difficult than I anticipated. Professor Louis never lost faith that I would complete this project and his encouragement inspired me to keep going even when other commitments made completion look well-nigh impossible.

The Business and Technology of the Sheffield Armaments Industry 1900-1930 Christopher John Corker A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2016 Abstract This exploration of the Sheffield armaments industry focuses on four in-depth case studies of John Brown, Cammell-Laird, Thomas Firth and Hadfields to examine the business and technology of the industry. It builds on the work of Tweedale and Trebilcock on Sheffield and armaments, and advances the argument that during the period of study from 1900 to 1930, the city was one of the most important centres for armaments research and production anywhere in the world. The business of the armaments industry is explored through an examination of the evolving links the industry had with the Government against the backdrop of an uncertain trading environment, and the managerial connections established between the state and private industry.

These were that after the ending of the Shipbuilding Industry Board (SIB) in December 1971, there would be no case on economic grounds for giving special support to the industry other than that afforded by the home credit scheme and by "shipbuilders relief" (the latter being a 2 per cent subsidy). It was concluded, however, that on regional employment grounds any major closures ought to be phased over a period. This policy was reviewed by the Committee in May 1971 and reaffirmed. 2. The first real test of the policy came when Upper Clyde Shipbuilders (UCS) collapsed in June 1971. We let the collapse take place and have been seeking to pick up the bits, redundancies being phased over a period at high cost to public funds, in view of the high level of unemployment on Clydeside, Now we are faced with Cammell Laird, saved from imminent collapse by the promise of a Government loan, though only temporarily; Doxford which could go the same way at any moment, and Swan Hunter and Lower Clyde either of which could come to grief and would no doubt be in greater danger of doing so as a result of confidence being still further shaken by Cammell Laird or Doxford.

BACKGROUND 2. Following the report of the Geddes Committee published in' March 1966, the Shipbuilding Industry Act was passed in June 1967, This set up the Shipbuilding Industry Board (SIB) which under the Act as amended was authorised to make i. grants of up to £20 million ii. loans (or equity investments) of up to £32f million The Minister was also authorised, subject to SIB recommendation, to guarantee bank loans for United Kingdom ship orders placed with United Kingdom yards up to a total of £400 million. Anneir A shows the expenditure and commitments of SIB grants and loans. 3, During 1966-67 the world new orders rose from 18 to 22 million gross tons as compared with an average of 10 million gross tons in the first half of the 1960s, but the British industry was being priced out of the market and obtained only a small proportion of new world orders ­ 2.2 per cent in 1966 and 5 per cent In 1967. Orders in 1967 included however five giant tankers and two container ships, the earliest of which will not be delivered until later this year. 4. In 1968-69 the industry was able to build up its order book and obtained, in tonnage terms, 9.8 per cent of new world orders in 1968 and 7 per cent in 1969.
