Letter from W J Ashley to William B Hardy Notes that the Industrial Branch of the Board of Trade, under Chapman, has been asked by the Food Controller to draw up a report dividing the population 'by heavy labour, medium and sedentary pursuits' -- suggests that Flux enquire if the Committee could work together on the memo, or else abstain from its own investigations into labour divisions -- advises that the RS be cautious about 'seeming to give definite advice...unless it has inside information'. 28 March 1917
