- Summary:
-
The Committee of the Council on Trade and Plantations was established in 1784 to regulate trade between Britain, its colonies, France and the United States. Following its reconstruction in 1786, it became known as the Board of Trade. Its business was originally conducted at nominal meetings attended by the President and Vice-presidents, but they ceased after 1845. Originally its functions were consultative, but in the mid-nineteenth century its work became increasingly administrative, including the regulation of railways, merchant shipping and joint stock companies. Although some of its functions were later transferred to other departments, it remained responsible for commercial relations with other countries, imports and exports, tariffs, industrial development, trade statistics, patents and copyright, weights and measures, companies, bankruptcy and insurance. In 1970 the Board was absorbed by the Department of Trade and Industry.
