Name of creator(s): National Advisory Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants, 1964-1965

Administrative/Biographical history: In July 1962 the Home Secretary appointed a Commonwealth Immigrants Advisory Council (CIAC) which had a secretary from the Home Office and produced regular reports. It was on a recommendation of the CIAC that the National Advisory Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants (NACCI) was set up in March 1964. The NACCI was a voluntary independent body under the chairmanship of Mr Philip Mason. Its first members were nominated by the CIAC, the National Council of Social Service and the Institute of Race Relations, and in April 1964 it appointed as its Advisory Officer Miss Nadine Peppard, who also worked for its successor bodies, the National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants (NCCI) and the Community Relations Commission (CRC).

The National Advisory Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants (NACCI) was superseded by the National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants (NCCI) in September 1965. (For the records of the latter, see series HO 231 ).With the establishment of the NCCI, the CIAC lapsed and produced its fourth and final report in October 1965. The NCCI was in turn superseded by the Community Relations Commission (CRC) in 1968; the records of the CRC are in series CK 3, and the files in that series contain a few papers of both the NACCI and the NCCI.
