| The Independent | 29 July 2005 | Andrew Grice | Blair abandons plan for civil service safeguards | "Tony Blair has shelved plans to bring in a new law to safeguard the independence of the Civil Service and it is now unlikely to be enacted while he is Prime Minister.
Although the Government is committed "in principle" to a Civil Service Act, it has been quietly dropped by Mr Blair. He is said to believe it would be "more trouble than its worth" and would shine an unwelcome spotlight on the role of politically appointed special advisers." |
