This chapter describes the influence of the Crown on the recent organisational change within the central government in Great Britain. It aims to determine the constitutional context within which understandings of the Crown have evolved in recent years, particularly as a result of the introduction of the Next Steps Programme in the mid 1980s. It describes three features of the modern idea of the Crown, which includes the Crown's theoretical distinctness from the government of the day and the notion that the Crown represents an indivisible unity.

Keywords:   central government, Next Steps Programme, indivisible unity
