Talk by Ivor Gowan
Lecturer in Public Administration,
University of Nottingham

In this setting Mr. Gowan comments on the proposals made to the Coventry City Council by the Organisation and Methods Division of the Treasury, which recently reviewed the city's administration at the Council's request.
