Acts are passed by Parliament. But who has the ultimate power to decide what should be in them? Is it ministers, like Baroness Young; government back-benchers, like John Hannam; or opposition spokesmen, like Neil Kinnock? Does the real power lie with civil servants, like Neill Evans, or even outside Parliament with lobbyists and voluntary groups? And have new procedures in the Commons led to a shift of power?
By tracing the Education Act 1981 through all its legislative stages, Anthony Barker throws new light on the hidden process of making law.
