How Britain Is Governed
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/60641/cabinet-manual.pdf |
Via a link from Full Fact, here is the 2011 Cabinet Manual, the first (it seems) comprehensive overview of how we are governed.
Eurosceptics can read Chapter 9 and fulminate; those questioning the legality of surrender of sovereignty might be interested to see the comment on judicial review:
“Judicial review
“6.10 Ministers’ decisions, and the process by which they exercise (or fail to exercise) their powers, can be reviewed by the High Court, although the courts will usually hesitate to intervene in cases where they accept that, because of the subject matter (entering into treaties, the defence of the
realm, the grant of honours, etc.), the decision-maker is better qualified than the courts to make a judgment.”
It also gives links (with at least one typo – letter “j” is sometimes given for “i” in this online version) to other documents, including how the Government is prepared to respond to emergencies.
The Cabinet Manual was commissioned by Gordon Brown. Maybe this is one of his best legacies.
