First published in 1992. In this lively and controversial book,
Kevin Theakston examines the Yes, Minister-style argument
popularised by Tony Benn and Richard Crossman that the civil
service obstructs Labour government policies. He argues that in
fact the Labour party's problems and failures in office are largely
political in origin. The book surveys the development of socialist
thinking about Whitehall, and examines the claim of a Labour MP in
1979 that 'It is as if Labour in office has now lost all stomach
for administrative reform.' Theakston looks at the effectiveness of
Labour's various reform schemes, raising important issues such as
politicisation and power in the civil service, Whitehall
management, elitism in civil service recruitment, and secrecy and
'open government'. This book will appeal to researchers and
students of British politics, public administration, and history,
as well as to all those with an interest in Whitehall reform, or in
Labour Party politics.
