Scotland: no structural change would be needed after yes vote

The former permanent secretary of Scotland, Sir John Elvidge, has said that there will be no need for radical change to existing civil service structures in the country if Scotland votes for independence in the coming referendum.

Elvidge said the decision in 2007 to abolish individual departments and centralise the Scottish civil service had already given Scotland a sound model. Writing in the Guardian he said civil servants working for the Scottish government were already within the control of the Scottish permanent secretary and the country's ministers.

His statements follow the recent announcement that the Commons parliamentary administration select committee is to hold an inquiry into the role of the civil service in Scotland.
