Organisation The organisational structure (see above) comprised departments headed by an advisor. By 1967 these were: Secretarial/Legal (J.A. Wedgwood), Financial (C.A. French), Industrial Relations (no-one in post) and Commercial (L.F. Robson). In 1978 new departments were created for Public Relations, Marketing and Engineering. The headquarters were in London, initially in Trafalgar Buildings in Charing Cross Road, then in the 1960s at Millbank Tower. For liaison with the Area Electricity Boards outstation offices were established such as in Bristol. The EC training establishment was at Horsley Towers, Surrey. There were 535 staff in 1959, 1083 in 1967, and 1257 in 1989. In 1969 the government proposed to reconstitute the Electricity Council and rename it the Electricity Authority with "new powers to plan and control the policy of the industry as a whole". The proposals were embodied in the Electricity Bill 1970, however Parliament was dissolved in May 1970 and the bill lapsed. Operations In 1965 the Electricity Council Research Centre was established at Capenhurst, Cheshire. It undertook research on distribution technology and utilisation of electricity. The council took over responsibility from the Electrical Development Association in 1966 for all national promotional work
