Description	Three titles produced by the British Government from 1954-2005 describing 'how Britain worked'. They are: 'Britain: An official handbook' (1954-1998), 'Britain: The official yearbook of the United Kingdom' (1999-2001), and 'UK: The official yearbook of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' (2002-2005). These 50 reports provide an overview of Britain's economic, social and cultural affairs, its environment, international relations, and the systems of government. They give an impartial summary of government policies and initiatives, and explain how public services are organised.
Additional NLS resources:	Official Publications collections These items are part of the Official Publications collection at the National Library of Scotland. Back to the future: 1979-1989 A series of essays looking at how key themes and events from the 1980s continue to shape our lives today. Guest writers and National Library of Scotland staff show how near history can be.
