Notes:

Seeks to establish how 'innovatory' was the Ministry. Deals with reasons why it had to be created; the extent to which it did not conform to the model of an established ministry, having been created from 'nothing'; its nature more akin to a business organisation than to an administrative body and its lasting impact of business / industry
