Which is not the characteristics of the British concept of civil service neutrality ?
Answer: D
The one that is not a characteristic of neutrality is civil servants participate in election propaganda.
The British idea of a neutral civil service means that permanent officials keep out of party politics and serve any government loyally. Senior civil servants are barred from political activity such as campaigning, which is the opposite of taking part in election propaganda.
The other three are its recognised features or results: the public trusts that the service is non-political; ministers of any party can rely on the loyalty of the permanent officials they inherit; and civil servants keep high morale because promotion depends on merit, not on political favour.
