Britain Is Firing Every Lazy Government Worker [View all]

[FarCenter]

Under-performing civil servants will be identified and fired under plans to rank all government officials by ability.

David Cameron is growing increasingly impatient with institutional failures and his ministers have complained privately about regularly receiving "useless" advice from below-par officials.

Ministers are determined to change the culture of the Civil Service, in which, they say, "lazy" staff get away with poor performance because managers are unwilling to have "difficult conversations". Sweeping plans to overhaul the service are expected to be published within a month. They are bound to infuriate the public-sector unions, who staged another day of industrial action last Thursday.
