Constitutional Practice
This new edition has been completely revised so as to incorporate and analyses all significant changes which have occurred since 1988 in the law and practice of British central government. The consequences of Margaret Thatcher's eviction from 10 Downing Street permeate several chapters. Mr
Major has authorized the official publication for the first time of information about Cabinet committees and of the code of conduct for these are fully described and analysed.
A steady stream of memoirs and diaries has flowed from the pens of former Ministers, all of which have been evaluated and are referred to wherever they throw light on government practice. A new chapter on the Opposition has been added to reflect the importance of the potential government and its
part in the daily work of parliament. Detailed changes in the practice of both Houses of Parliament are incorporated and major reforms of the qualifications for judges are described.
