The Treasury in Public Policy-Making

Analyses the Treasury's role in public policy making and makes an original contribution to knowledge about the current work of the Treasury.

The book focuses on three main areas:

* the development of the Treasury from earliest times to the present

* the current structure and organization of the Treasury following the radical changes which took place in 1995 as a result of the 1994 Fundamental Expenditure Review

* the Treasury's role in the financing and responsibility of Next Step Agencies, including brief case studies of the Civil Service College, the Contributions Agency and the Royal Mint.
