Publisher's Synopsis
This is the official guide to the Civil Service. It lists all ministries and departments in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and tells you where they are, what they do and who is in charge. National museums and art galleries are also included, as are organizations such as the British Library, the Countryside Commission and the research councils. If you need to know who is who in the Royal Households, or what the major salary levels are for senior civil servants, or you want to find contact names and addresses for government departments, this is your source.
