Bureaucrats and Politicians in Britain
The distinctive relationship between bureaucrats and politicians in Britain has been much noted around the world and often used a model by reformers. However, both Conservative and Labour governments have displayed dissatisfaction with the bureaucracy and have made important changes in the “Whitehall model.” Some of these changes have reduced the degree to which British politicians have been unusually dependent on a career bureaucracy that is ins…
Accountability and Responsibility of Government and Public Bodies
Public policy inquiry and advice as an aspect of constitutional reform
This article presents for the first time an outline of a classified review of the many types (some 20) of public policy inquiry or review exercises used in British public affairs. They are mainly created by the government but are also increasingly promoted by private bodies hoping to influence government and the established specialist interests in a policy field by supplying free and authoritative information and recommendations. A brief commenta…
Political Responsibility for UK Prison Security – Ministers Escape Again
Two very serious prison escapes in 1994–5 prompted the Home Secretary, Michael Howard, to dismiss the Prison Service head, Derek Lewis (a contracted businessman) who successfully sued for full compensation and costs. This sacking and law suit were unprecedented events which highlighted familiar tensions about the ‘policy’ and ‘administrative’ (‘operational’) distinction and what passes for the theory of individual ministerial responsibility to Pa…
Practising to Deceive: Whitehall, Arms Exports and the Scott Inquiry
Whitehall's Disobedient Servants? Senior Officials' Potential Resistance to Ministers in British Government Departments
British civil servants have a clear constitutional duty to obey their ministers. Yet civil servants may be confronted with situations in which they believe, on the basis of their knowledge or expertise, that the course of action a minister favours would have sharply damaging consequences for the government or the country. What should higher civil servants do then? We use data gathered in two rounds of interviews with senior civil servants (Grades…

(1995). Major's government in a major key: Conservative ideological aggressiveness since Margaret Thatcher. New Political Science: Vol. 17, Contemporary British Politics, pp. 125-150
The end of the Whitehall model
One of the most influential and apparently enduring models of the political‐bureaucratic relations has been the 'Whitehall model' derived from British practices. Yet the relationship between bureaucrats and politicians in Britain, often poorly understood in the past, has changed in recent years to such an extent that the continued existence of the 'Whitehall model' can be doubted. This article draws on published sources and, for background, inter…
What Happened When: A Chronology of Australia from 1788
When was left-hand driving enforced in Australia? When did women get the vote? When did the Garden Palace burn down? When was Vegemite invented? The answers to these questions, and more, are in Happened When? This book should settle arguments, refresh memories, furnish some surprises and answer a lot of questions. The year-by-year arrangement of the text is designed to make it easy to use, and its 140 page index provides a valuable reference sour…
