Although some of the content is out of date, the terms used may be of some help. (The terms (Department of State, etc) do not have to have capital letters; this is just the style of the book): \'In the United Kingdom the Executive consists of the Privy Council, the Cabinet and the Departments of State, and there are also a large number of government agencies controlling certain essential public services, such as the supply of electricity, transport and the use of atomic energy, as well as a number of public trading corporations...
