IN this book an attempt is made to give a comprehensive account of the scope and variety of the work performed by Scottish Government departments, or, more accurately, by departments which are responsible to Scottish Ministers. It will be seen that the book does not deal with the affairs of departments of other Ministers of the Crown whose responsibilities extend throughout the whole of Great Britain. Their arrangements and work in relation to Scotland have already been outlined in the Scottish Office publication A Handbook on Scottish Administration (Revised Edition, H.M.S.O., 1956).

It will be apparent from even a cursory perusal of this book that in all the diverse duties which the Scottish Office has to fulfil, its members work together as a team. The production of the book has been no exception. In its general layout and the settlement of its contents I have had the benefit of the assistance and advice of my senior colleagues, to whom I am in this, as in other matters, deeply indebted. But, more particularly, I should like to record my thanks to Mr. I. M. Robertson, a former Principal Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Scotland, for the help he has given in the co-ordination and presentation of the material provided by the departments, and for the historical research which he has undertaken.
