Great Britain. Ministry of Economic Warfare : Established in September 1939 to perform functions similar to those of the Ministry of Blockade in World War I, the Ministry's aim was to disorganize the enemy's economy so as to prevent it from carrying on the war. Its activities included control of contraband, restriction of enemy supplies and making recommendations for aerial attack on targets most likely to affect the enemy's economy.

The Ministry of Economic Warfare was divided into two branches: General Branch and Enemy Branch. The Enemy Branch developed in 1942 into a purely intelligence organization. In April 1944, it was transferred to the Foreign Office where it became the Economic Advisory Branch. The General Branch dealt with operational aspects of the Ministry's work.

The Ministry of Economic Warfare was wound up in 1945, its residual functions passing to the new Economic Warfare Department of the Foreign Office. Records of the Ministry including those of the major committees are located in FO 837.
