This class comprises memoranda, papers, correspondence, etc., relating to government policy and social problems, particularly those of an institutional and public character. It is based on files and collections prepared by Thomas Jones himself. The papers fall into a number of categories:. (1). Cabinet Papers. These are a series of manuscript notes, apparently verbatim, of Cabinet Meetings and Conferences of Ministers, taken by Thomas Jones towards the preparation of the Secretary's Notes. These have been bound separately. With them have been bound those jottings, doodles, enigmatic comments, etc., passed across the Cabinet table, which could not be assigned to any particular location in time or place. (2). Collections of material which relate, in somewhat haphazard way, to general economic policy. Cabinet papers and analogous material may be found here also. (3). Collections of material which relate to industrial relations, in a broad sense. The troubles of the coal industry, strikes, including the General Strike, loom large here, and Government papers of a secret nature are numerous. Some Cabinet notes and jottings are bound here in their relevant place. (4). Collections of papers relating to unemployment. These include remedial policies pursued and remedial institutions created by the Government, but also embrace the records of private groups working for amelioration, some of which had access to government material. (5). Collections of papers relating to private groups of different kinds. Some of these, such as the Nuffield College Survey of World War II, had semi-official status and their papers include valuable studies and memoranda. [Note 1]. In a sense this class is a residue (though it forms perhaps the most important single class in the collection). Analogous material, including government memos of various kinds may be found scattered throughout the collection. Particularly rich in such papers are classes A, B, D, E, F, G, P, Q and Z (which also incorporates verbatim records of Cabinet meetings). See also class W, passim. [Note 2]. These papers relate, in the main, to home affairs. At times, they should be read in close conjuction with Volumes 1, 3, 4 and 5 of class B. [Note 3]. Cabinet papers etc. are not indexed for individuals (except where authorship of memos is in question) but a complete list of such papers is provided in each volume's contents.

Nos 1-61. Correspondence, memoranda and papers relating to the 1941 Committee. The 1941 Committee, with J. B. Priestley as Chairman and G. Raymond Gauntlett as Secretary, was launched on 4 Dec. 1940, with the support of Edward Hulton. It was a group of 'Progressives' who organised to defeat reaction and to mobilise support for social transformation during the War, winning a 'People's Peace' by a 'People's War'. It had two forms of activity, public and 'conspirational' - seeking to influence policy by personal contact. Membership was restricted. In August 1942, after members had, as The Nine Point Group, intervened in the Wallasey and Maldon by-elections, the 1941 Committee merged with Forward March to create the Common Wealth movement. The papers are a rather slight collection of minutes and memoranda, with some correspondence. A memorandum by P.E.P. - What are we fighting for?
