The major changes to the supplementary benefits scheme introduced by the Conservative Government under the provisions of the Social Security Act 1980 emanated from a review of the scheme set up by the previous Labour Administration. The article examines how the structure and approach adopted for the SB review allowed the policy making process to survive a change of Government. In particular, the article examines why it was decided to carry out the review as ‘an exercise in open government’; what ‘open government’ meant in practice and finally the extent to which participants in the exercise were able to affect the nature of the changes which were introduced
