British Government Since 1918
First published in 1950, British Government Since 1918 presents a comprehensive, well-balanced account of the machinery by which public affairs are regulated in Britain. The Institute of Public Administration asked six experts to make a broad survey of the significant happenings in each of the main fields of government. Their names by themselves guarantee the authority and readability of this important book. Lord Campion deals with the changes in parliamentary procedure; D. N. Chester with the cabinet and its committees; Professor W. J. M. Mackenzie with the central departments; Professor W. A. Robson with the administrative law; Sir Arthur Street with the public corporation and quasi-governmental bodies; and J. H. Warren with local government. This is a must read for students of political science and public administration.
