Civil Servants
“The continental type of Civil Servant presupposed a much more rapid change of government than ours, and therefore I think, the continental Civil Servant exercised a degree of continuity of policy which is not the case in British ministries. Contrasted with the American type where the higher Civil Servants are almost all party men, the Civil Service in Britain is much more independent, impartial, and continuous. The British type is probably half way between the continental type on the one hand and the American type on the other.” —Quintin Hogg, former Conservative Cabinet Minister, in a 8.8. C. World Service programme.
