 Secretary of State for Trade and Industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idea of a Board of Trade was first translated into action by Oliver Cromwell in 1655 when he appointed his son Richard Cromwell to head a body of Lords of the Privy Council, Judges and merchants to consider measures to promote trade.
At first the President of the Board of Trade only occasionally sat in the cabinet, but from the early 19th century it was usually a cabinet level position.
In 1983 the offices of trade and industry were remerged and the title of Secretary of State for Trade and Industry was recreated.
