7 Preface This book is based upon the work done by a study group set up by the Study of Parliament Group (SPG) in 1990 to monitor the consequences for Parliament of the Government's Next Steps Initiative, As convenor of the group and editor of the book I have been grateful for the continuing support and encouragement of the SPG and particularly its Executive Committee in seeing the work through to completion. That support has not been merely moral support. The SPG Executive has generously funded the travelling expenses of members of the study group as well as some of the costs of the preparation of the book for publication. For that we are particularly grateful. To avoid misunderstanding I should, nevertheless, make clear at the outset that the SPG does not bear any responsibility for the facts stated or opinions expressed in this book. That same disclaimer also applies to those who generously gave of their time to talk to the study group and answer our questions about their experience of the Next Steps programme: Don Brereton of the Prime Minister's Efficiency Unit; Mike Goodson, Assistant Auditor General; Giles Radice, MP, of the Treasury and Civil Service Committee; and Peter Ryder, Director of Operations at the Meteorological Office. Peter Kemp, as he then was, gave an illuminating address to the SPG annual meeting in Priscilla Baines acted as our scribe for these meetings with her customary efficiency and has been a continuing source of encouragement to me as convenor of the group. To monitor the consequences of development of a programme like the Next Steps means that time must be allowed to reveal what those consequences are. The research, and the book which is based upon it, has therefore inevitably been a long time in the making. I would like, therefore, to pay tribute to the patience and resilience of my colleagues in keeping faith with the project. Most of the initial group who expressed interest in the study have remained with us and contributed to this volume, many of them whilst carrying out heavy commitments elsewhere. The list of contributors is appended to this preface. I am grateful to them all. I should also like to pay particular tribute to those who have assisted in the task of converting our findings into this book. Sheila Baxter, secretary in the Department of Politics at the University of Reading, did much of the early word processing and Lisa Hasell has brought those early drafts into camera-ready form with remarkable facility. Simon Patrick gave invaluable help with preparation of the tables and other aspects of the design of the vii
8 viii Preface book and Paul Evans has generously assisted in proof reading and arranging for preparation of the index, for which we are indebted to Sue Martin. In the Preface to a book about accountability it is more than ever necessary to make clear who is responsible for what. Broadly speaking, as editor I take responsibility for all matters of editorial policy, within the guidelines helpfully provided by Macmillan, including the structure and balance of the book, as well as (of course) for those chapters which bear my name. For the content of the other chapters, the particular authors, individually or jointly as the case may be, take responsibility. If that leaves the reader with some lingering doubt about precisely who is responsible for particular passages or words in the text, then the reader has been well initiated into the issues raised by a study of accountability. Reading, October 1994 Philip Giddings
