The Economic League, the rightwing employment vetting agency, is reported to have been relaunched under a new name, a year after it disbanded. When it folded the card files that it held on thousands of trade unionists and labour activists were retained by their director of information, Jack Winder, and director-general, Stan Hardy. In May 1993 the two men registered a new company, Caprim Ltd, which offers services identical to those of the Economic League. These include tracking down left-wing activists, vetting potential employees and identifying environmental and animal rights activists.
