I have done research into UK supermarkets during the 80's & 90's
deconstructing the ideological relationship between retailers and Government
using Sainsbury primary material. This offers an incredible insight into the
construction of planning policy which articulates between the industry and
both Conservative and New Labour Governments, revealing continuities and
schisms. Lord David Sainsbury, former MD and now a Labour Minister more or
less wrote the New Labour manifesto back in the early eighties shortly after
Thatcher was elected. This says a lot about the project to modernise the
economy in the new post-modern, global age and despite seeming to take a
side swipe at Thatcherism is really a treatise in favour of a monetarist
economy with Government taking an interventionist role on behalf of
corporate business. And later the McKinsey Global report on deregulating the
planning process in the UK (ostensibly commissioned by the Treasury,
although it argues that the DTI did this... despite McKinsey's disclaimer
that any Government department commissioned it!) arguably had a key effect
on New Labour planning policy, though this is invariably denied. If you want
any of the references, let me know.
