摘要:

This paper examines certain administrative constraints which hampered inter‐war governments in their operation of public works policies and reinforced their opposition to even more ambitious Keynesian employment programmes. The stabilizing effectiveness of public investment is assessed, as is central government's ability to promote greater capital expenditure by the local authorities, the principal agencies for public investment. To this end, a special study is made of the large‐scale public works programmes proposed by Mosley in 1930 and Lloyd George in 1935. It is concluded that there were cogent administrative and political reasons why such programmes were viewed as inappropriate solutions to unemployment between the wars, apart from the more nominally cited economic‐theoretic foundations of orthodox opposition to Keynesian pol

摘要:

Sir Warren Fisher, Permanent Secretary of the Treasury from 1919 to 1939, tried to make the Treasury a ‘general staff’, for all of Whitehall. He was official head of the civil service, and his Department co‐ordinated policy by persuading ministers to decide priorities within a balanced budget. Treasury advice on what policy should be was influential, partly because of the absence of a fully developed Cabinet Office or Prime Minister's Office. Treasury control of expenditure was also necessary to ensure that spending departments conformed to Cabinet decisions on priorities. The Treasury exercised a powerful influence, however, only so long as the Cabinet accepted the financial orthodoxy of balanced bu

摘要:

Despite several attempts to reform the structure of the water industry, little was achieved in the inter‐war period. Three phases in the perception of water‐use planning can be discerned, namely the period of post‐First World War reconstruction, the years 1929–34, and those of 1935–39. The allocation of water resources affected property rights so closely that Parliament was particularly reluctant to delegate its regulatory powers over the industry to ministers and their

摘要:

Echoes of the Haldane Committee's proposal in 1918 for the establishment of a Ministry of Justice can still be heard in current debate about the machinery of justice. Yet the Haldane proposal itself vanished almost without trace in the inter‐war years. This article examines the content and the context of the sporadic debate and concludes that the non‐implementation of the proposal is attributable to the innate conservatism of the legal profession and, more particularly, to the influence of the Lord Chancellor's Permanent Secretary, Sir Claud Schus
