The administrative class in fact closed its ranks against reform and reverted to recruiting traditional Oxbridge entrants (Hennessy, 1989). International crises such as the Suez-crisis in 1956 and mounting economic problems led to criticisms of the civil service. An internal report 14 Public service ethos, values and integrity (Plowden, 1961) highlighted a lack of economic skills amongst Treasury staff and a general lack of management skills throughout the service. The response was to introduce more training and to review internal procedures.
A major development during the interwar years was the gradual increase of Treasury control. Headed by Sir Warren Fisher from 1919 until 1939, who was also Head of the Civil Service, the Treasury had the power to approve expenditure on staff, to set down qualifications for entry and the nature of examinations (although the CSC continued to be responsible for recruitment), and to coordinate and control the work of all departmental establishments (Farnham and Horton, 1996). This enabled Fisher to impose his ideas on the civil service (Pilkington, 1999) and he is generally credited with consolidating the administrative bureaucracy and the PSE.
Private business was the model for public management and private business practices, including accountable management, performance management, output budgeting and accrual accounting, were adopted. Where the private sector was cheaper, departments had to contract out. Between 1979 and 1997 the civil service fell by nearly 40 per cent. Over 150 agencies were created and nearly 80 per cent of civil servants were working in them. The composition of the service had changed as new systems of recruitment were introduced and many posts were openly advertised.
