Parkinsons new law sparks London political clash
London observers report C Northcote Parkinson, famed historian, proposing a third law that nationalized industries tend toward bankruptcy. The claim, made at an Aims of Industry luncheon backed by big business, drew quick rebuttal from a Labour spokesman who dismissed it as poppycock. Parkinson argued government ownership discourages wage restraint, while Conservatives say nationalized firms must pay or break even. Labour remains committed to nationalizing steel and road haulage, with coal and railways already nationalized postwar.
