Talk by Lord Percy p.c ,
Lord Percy , late Vice-Chancellor of the University of Durham, is author of Democracy on Trial and Government in Transition. In this talk he refers particularly to the collection of essays Problems of Nationalised Industries edited by W. A. Robson , published last year. Whilst the book seeks mainly to answer the question whether nationalisation is good for the industries concerned, Lord Percy is more concerned to discuss whether nationalisation is compatible with free parliamentary institutions of the British type.
