Abstract
The civil service role in the Westminster model is to inform and implement central government policy. The authors argue that extensive public sector r eforms and changes in UK governance mean that the Westminster model no long er provides an adequate explanation of how government works. Thus the Unite d Kingdom is now a 'Disunited Kingdom'.
