The Geddes Committee is the name by which the United
Kingdom's Shipbuilding Inquiry Committee of 1965-6 was more generally known. It
took this name from its chairperson, Reay Geddes, the managing director of
Dunlop Rubber.
The Geddes Committee was appointed in February 1965. Their
remit was to consider ways to save the shipbuilding industry in the United
Kingdom by achieving greater competitiveness through organisational changes and
in the methods of production. The Committee was sponsored by the Board of Trade.
