The five-volume Scott Report on Arms to Iraq was remarkable because its subject matter entailed a lengthy investigation into all three branches of the British Government: the executive, the legislative, and Parliament. In Under the Scott-Light, distinguished experts from the fields of law, politics, and public administration carefully examine the Report, contributing incisive analyses of the people, processes, and policy considerations involved; exposing the generally secretive world of Whitehall, including its darkest corners, in which the security and intelligence services and the arms trade are seemingly obliged to operate. Under the Scott-Light provides the reader with a rare opportunity to read about the actualité of the governmental machine in operation.
Under the Scott-Light carefully examines The Scott Report on Arms to Iraq; incisive analyses by distinguished experts provide unparalleled insights into all three branches of British Government - the executive, the legislative, and Parliament - and the uncodified constitution that is meant to constrain them.
