This work gives, in 450 clear charts, the essential facts about Britain in 2018. It covers in alphabetical sequence over a hundred topics including (to quote a few representative examples) Academy schools, Apprenticeships, Crime, Education, Health, Housing, Immigration, Taxation, Universities, and Zero-hour contracts. The information is drawn from highly authoritative sources including the House of Commons library, the UK's Office for National Statistics, and other official bodies. Sources are clearly identified so that readers can go more deeply into matters of particular interest. The book will be particularly useful to all professionals involved in formulating or administering public policy, and to academics and students in these fields.
