One Day in the Life: Of Campbell Adamson, Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry

on BBC One London

The first of a pair of films in a new occasional series in which one man and his world are closely observed for one day.

Campbell Adamson is at the head of a body which speaks for three-quarters of industry and commerce. The CBI (the 'bosses' union' it has been called) is at the very core of the central issue of today - the problem of wage-price inflation. Campbell Adam son's remedy for the malaise is a voluntary concordat between Government, his CBI, and Unions. This film was shot on a day in late autumn - just before 'The Freeze' - a typically long and arduous day. For time must be found for conferences with his aides on the important speech he is to make that evening.

(Wednesday: 10.15 BBC1, One Day in the Life of Jack Jones, General Secretary of the TGWU)
