• Merge and redirect to an appropriate article about the U.K. Civil Service, with re-creation allowed later if significant additional content is to be added. Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A powerful and influential post that was created by William Ewart Gladstone in the 1850s to insure the impartiality of the UK Civil Service.
