 In 1965 he was appointed to the "Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employers' Associations" (also known as the "Donovan Commission") set up by the Labour government under Harold Wilson to seek solutions to the problem of strikes which plagued the British economy of the period.Clegg successfully argued in the Commission that strikes were caused by poor industrial management, not by unions, effectively derailing Barbara Castle's White Paper, "In Place of Strife", which sought to establish legislative intervention in major disputes, and which the Commission had originally supported.He also became a member of the "National Board for Prices and Incomes" set up in 1965 to regulate a prices and incomes policy, but the intractable circumstances of labour relations in Britain meant that this initiative remained a "damp squib".
