Ministers in Ulster: The Machinery of Direct Rule

Lord Windlesham Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Lords, was until recently Minister of State for Northern Ireland. This article is the revised text of a lecture he gave at The New University of Ulster on 26 April 1973. The lecture was delivered as one of a series of six, arranged by the Department of Social Administration at The New University, which have since been published as Occasional Papers. I would like to acknowledge the kindness of Professor H. Griffiths in agreeing so readily to the proposal to reproduce Lord Windlesham's contribution to this series of lectures in 'Public Administration'. (Hon. Editor.)
