The Thatcher Era and the Civil Service: The Legacy of the 1980s

The resignation of Mrs Thatcher as prime minister in November 1990, after over eleven years in office, marked the end of an era in British politics. It will be some years before historians attempt a lasting assessment of the place of the Thatcher era in British political history, but it is clear that its impact on British public administration has been pronounced. Nowhere has this been more marked than the civil service. As one commentator has observed, Mrs Thatcher has had more impact on the civil service than any peacetime prime minister since Gladstone (Hennessy, 1989b, p.114).
