| Description: |
Assesses Parliament's response to the formation of "executive agencies" within the Civil Service. It reviews Parliament's mechanisms and considers several case studies (including the benefits and employment agencies), and concludes that there could be greater accountability. |
| Synopsis: |
Written by members of the Study of Parliament Group, this book assesses Parliament's response to the reorganization of much of the Civil Service into "executive agencies". Chief executives have been given freedom to take operational decisions, yet ministers insist that they themselves remain constitutionally responsible for the work of the agencies. After reviewing Parliament's mechanisms and considering several case studies, the authors conclude that Parliament has yet to exploit fully the opportunities for greater accountability which the new arrangements provide. It contains case-studies of two new agencies, benefits and employment. |
