The badge was original introduced, possibly in about 1850 on a Red Ensign,
for the Board of Trade. It displays a sailing ship flying an ensign.

The ensign was discontinued in 1949 but re-instated 1954.

We still have a Board of Trade (it's part of the Department of Trade and
Industry) so that ensign should still be current.

The flag is a blue ensign, with a badge consisting of a disc divided light
blue (sky) over medium blue (sea), with 3-masted sailing ship flying a jack
and a red ensign.
