A series of ten programmes 1: LOSLA? by DOUGLAS HURD
In the late 1970s there's another economic crisis. The government looks around desperately for cuts in public spending to satisfy pressing foreign creditors. Lowering of the school leaving age is suggested. This documentary drama introduced by PETER JENKINS aims to show how the Whitehall and government machines work. At the end Jenkins talks to former senior civil servant SIR TOBY WEAVER and DOUGLAS HURD , mp, about the issues raised in the programme.
