2 Even R. K. Kelsall’s brief but welcome paper in Stanworth and Giddens, op. at., comparing recent data with that used in his 1955 study (Higher Civil Servants in Britain) does not deal with the trends which have begun to emerge in the last five years. Pickering and Dodd’s two articles, ‘Recruitment to the Administrative Class 1960–64’, Public Administration, Vol. 45, Spring and Summer, 1967, are now mainly of historical interest, as is much of the Social Survey commissioned by the Fulton Committee of Inquiry into the Civil Service, Report Vol. 3 (1), 1969, London, HMSO.
