Who summarised the British bureaucracy as orderly, symmetrical, prudent, articulate and cohesive ?

  • A.Herman Finer
  • B.J.D. Kingsley
  • C.Milton Mandell
  • D.W.S. Sayre

Answer: D

The keyed answer is W.S. Sayre.

The key credits Sayre with the description of the British bureaucracy as orderly, symmetrical, prudent, articulate and cohesive. I could not find the quotation in any source I could check, so the attribution rests on the key.

Of the other names, Herman Finer wrote on British government and the civil service and J.D. Kingsley wrote Representative Bureaucracy (1944), a study of the British civil service as an expression of middle-class values. The question is a recall of an attribution, which elimination alone does not settle.
