The organisations are presented in an alphabetical sequence. While some entries are slight, dealing with membership, invitations to meetings and the like, others are more substantial both in their time-span and in the matters covered. Among the organisations best documented here are the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Geological Society, the International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature, the Royal Society and the Watt Committee on Energy. For material relating to the British Geological Survey see the entries for the Institute of Geological Sciences and the Institution of Geologists.

Includes notification of Kent's election as Institution of Consultative Committee on British Support for Geological Sciences (CCGS) In response to the crisis believed to be facing the British Geological Survey (see F.147-F.161) the Institution of Geologists established a Working Group in November 1984 to organise the geological community's response and argue the case for maintained funding of the earth sciences. It agreed at its first meeting to widen its membership by bringing in representatives from industry and to establish itself as the Consultative Committee on British Support for Geological Science Funding for Research in the Geological Sciences. The first Chairman of the Working Group and the Committee was D.C. lon but on his death in September 1985, Kent was invited to serve on the Committee as Chairman. The Committee drafted a number of papers ‘Geological Sciences in danger’, ‘Funding for research in the geological sciences’ and 'Geology and Wealth: the future?’ for circulation and much of the material presented here relates to the preparation and circulation of the drafts and consideration of comments received at meetings of the Committee. 1986 June (3) For material relating to the Royal Society's Geological Survey Panel see F.378-F.381. 1985 September, October 1986 January, February 1985 January -April F.173 1985 May, August F.175 1985 November F.171 1984 November 1986 June (1) 1986 June (2) 1985 December F.172 F.174 P.

Kent, as the Charlton Thermosystems Ltd was a small company set up to manufacture and market electrical inventions of Mr John Charlton of Romsey, Hants. Kent was introduced to the company by a fellow Director of LASMO. In March 1980 he and J. Stephen, a physicist from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, visited Mr Chariton for a demonstration of one of his most promising inventions, the Charlton Energy Unit. This was a system of heating which involved passing a low-voltage current through a cable buried in earth or concrete. Kent and Stephen reported favourably on the invention and LASMO decided to invest in the invention. On the issue of shares in the company in April 1980 LASMO took a 20% share-holding and lent it £240,000. P. E.
