Originally published in 1968, this book deals with the process of
public legislation in modern Britain at the time, not in terms of
constitutional formulae, but by a realistic appraisal of the
relationships between the political institutions and forces which
gave the process its shape. It concentrates particularly on the
procedures and conventions which operated at the preparatory stages
of legislation, and established that legislation was almost
exclusively a governmental function, Parliament playing only a
minor role. It is particularly concerned to stress the extent to
which consultation by the government with pressure groups was now a
major feature of the legislative process, and concludes that
subordinate departmental legislation, developed as a result of
collaboration between pressure groups and Civil Servants, was the
most characteristic and important stage of the legislative process
in Britain. The book brought together the conclusions of recent
scholarship in this field, and the result is a balanced perspective
of an important decision-making process of British government at
the time. Today it can be read in its historical context.
