Abstract: This chapter assesses the impact of the development of Next Steps agencies in Britain since 1988. The distinctive features of the British system and these developments are set out to assist comparison. Among the themes covered are: • Does agencification remove the day-to-day involvement of elected ministers? • How has the issue of policy advice relating to agency programmes been handled? • What is the relationship between managers in agencies and other civil servants in the host department and core executive departments? • Has agencification limited the capacity of the new Labour government to carry out policy change?
