British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1317: British Water

For example, to nationalize the water supply system, a bill must be submitted to the House of Commons. This is a matter for the prime minister and the secretary-general of the cabinet. It is nothing more than the following. Let the Ministry of Finance come up with the budget for the nationalization of the water supply system, and then evaluate the establishment The number of establishments required by British water companies is used to arrange employment.

The current employment situation in the UK is actually worse than it was during Attlee's time. After all, many industries that Alan Wilson considered worthless have already been transferred out. This may also be the root cause of Aiden's overturn this time, so Whitehall certainly has no objection to creating some jobs through nationalization, which can also increase the number of civil servants.

The first step is naturally to ask the Ministry of Finance if there is any problem. After a while, Frank came to the Cabinet Office. Alan Wilson waited for the other party to sit down and greeted him first, "Frank, how do you feel about your minister?"

"Callaghan?" Frank pondered for a moment and shook his head. "He's just taken office, so I can't see any difference from the previous one."

"Of course we hope there will be no change, but don't take it lightly." Alan Wilson nodded, Callahan? He remembered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was also the Prime Minister, and it was also the end of the Labor Party's ruling wave, which was finally ended by Mrs Thatcher.

Although highly valued by Harold Wilson, Callaghan is not in the same faction as the current leader of the Labor Party in the political spectrum, but a faction of the former leader Gatzke.

Immediately, Alan Wilson conveyed the prime minister's plan to start with the water supply system in this round of nationalization, and asked Frank what he thought.

"I'm fine. Alan, what do you think?" Frank didn't express any objection. He knew clearly that it would cost money, but this time the Labor Party won a big victory and won nearly a hundred seats. At this time, Whitehall It is impossible to oppose the cabinet, but now it is a strong government.

"I'm not opposed to the nationalization plan, you know, it will create some jobs, and we have another place to arrange colleagues." Alan Wilson said of this and added, "But let's be clear, the new The establishment of the British Water Company is to make money, and the bottom line is that it cannot cause a fiscal deficit, and it is definitely not possible to use the power of the government to cover losses."

As an outstanding representative of the old imperialism, the United Kingdom achieved 100% tap water coverage in 1944. Only with this basis can we talk about nationalizing the water supply system.

The problem to be solved now is nothing more than the issue of authority. The concentration of the water supply system in the UK is relatively low, and it belongs to various local governments. What needs to be done now is to integrate these private or public water supply systems, local governments and municipal governments.

There are three main opponents, the local government, the United Water Resources Board and the water company.

Although private companies are also participants in the water market, their market share is less than one-fifth, and the actual control of the water industry is still in the hands of local governments; while water supply business needs to be carried out frequently across regions, the terms of bulk supply arrangements Central government approval is required, and the involvement of such a large number of agencies in the water business has led to inefficiencies in the UK's water supply.

"There are thousands of institutions in local water companies alone." Frank said that this matter is not easy. "Does the prime minister know what he will face?"

"I know or I don't know. But it doesn't matter. The existence of disorganized institutions also makes us don't know where to start. With this nationalization, we can sort out the water supply system. Replace it with reliable people to arrange it."

Alan Wilson knocked on the table, "Arrange the civil servants admitted this year to Malaya. The water supply system in Malaya is shared with private companies, but it is far clearer than the local chaos. Let the local colleagues Come back and things will be easier."

Frank may not believe in other words, but he absolutely believes in the words of the supreme authority, the shared private company in Malaya? If nothing else, the owner of the company should be called Pamela Mountbatten.

Ask Frank to make a budget. Alan Wilson picked up the microphone and called the Ministry of the Interior to ask the Ministry of the Interior to come up with a feasibility report. He gave him a week to ensure that the report must be detailed and let the Prime Minister know about the water supply in the UK. reality of the system.

After all, this involves thousands of interest groups including local governments, water companies and institutions. When he returned home at night, he compared the time in Kuala Lumpur, and then called the Kuala Lumpur High Commissioner’s Office, informing him of the need for local water services. The employees of the company returned to their home country to lead the nationalization.

"I'll arrange it right away, Secretary-General." Richard's voice came from the microphone, and Alan Wilson was relieved a little, and replied, "The wave of nationalization is not a bad thing for civil servants. These institutions will ultimately depend on us. Management? The integration of thousands of institutions should be managed by members of parliament, they can at most make a name for themselves.”

As soon as he put down the phone, Xia Meng posted, "It seems that you are the one who talked about the water supply system of Xiangjiang?"

Xia Meng came back this time because of the British Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. As a benchmark for Asian movies, she naturally couldn't make the man behind her feel empty every day.

"Don't say that." Alan Wilson categorically denied, and then added, "I asked people to talk about it. Of course, I also thank your country for your cooperation. In fact, we have a chance to cooperate, don't we? It's ugly for everyone Not good. Of course, things like the Vietnam War are an exception. This can’t be blamed on the UK. The UK has a big empire thinking. Compared with the Americans, it looks down on Europeans. Your country is entangled in the relationship between the UK and the US. I can Tell you that it is definitely more inclined to the United States. But in the end, the outcome of the war determines the attitude of China and Britain."

No matter how many Vietnamese were killed by the United States in the Vietnam War, whether it was two million or five million, as long as the United States finally withdraws its troops and South Vietnam is destroyed, it will be a certain defeat.

Conversely, even if Vietnam is in misery, as long as they can persist until the Americans leave, they will be the winners. For the number one in the world, once the undefeated golden body is broken, it is quite a terrible thing.

The United States should immediately find a victim to defeat the Soviet Union, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.

There is no doubt that decades later, the United States has a lot of cards in its hands, and it turned around and ordered Eastern Europe. But now the United States really doesn't have many choices. If you choose Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, a big country will be bloody? Right now, apart from being able to fight, a certain big country is not at the level of pots and pans, and the United States feels that it is at a loss if it sacrifices a dog.

But decades later in Asia, the United States also has its own difficulties. At least Southeast Asian countries do not believe in the military power of the United States as much as Europeans. Southeast Asian countries have witnessed the Iron Fist of Saigon with their own eyes, and Europeans have only heard about it. Witnessing and hearing with their own ears are not the same concept.

Alan Wilson told Xia Meng, do you want the United States to talk to you calmly? It's enough to prove that you are not easy to mess with. It doesn't matter how ugly the process is, the result will prove everything.

Why did Alan Wilson focus on Malaya, because when a certain big country opened up, the first batch of capital injections were not Britain, America, Europe, Japan, and South Korea, but overseas Chinese scattered in Southeast Asia. Now overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia have been regarded by him as an important starting point for the return of British capital.

It was only after the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia made money that Japanese companies appeared. As for European and American companies starting to invest, that was all later.

The nationalization this time is very vigorous. The main reason is that Alan Wilson transferred people from Malaya and the Middle East. The Middle East also has British civil servants who are responsible for seawater desalination and sewage purification systems. Especially the latter is very important. Establishing a reliable water purification system is the top priority of this nationalization of the water supply system, which directly concerns the success or failure of this nationalization.

"Allen, the Cabinet Office has supplemented some unexpected aspects of the cabinet plan." Prime Minister Harold was quite satisfied and expressed his appreciation for the cabinet secretary without hesitation.

This report clarifies the aspect of sewage treatment: there are many management agencies, and localized treatment leads to frequent sewage problems.

The rapid growth of water demand has led to the rapid development of the sewage treatment industry under the policy requirements of public health. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

However, the problems in the sewage treatment industry are similar to those in water supply, that is, under the premise that sewage treatment is in charge of the local authority area rather than the basin area, the participation of more than 1,400 local agencies has caused many problems in the sewage treatment industry.

Local authorities are required to carry out sewage collection, sewage treatment and pollution control across river basins, but since there is no common management agency across river basins, each management agency manages according to its own river pollution control standards; from London with a population of eight million to the smallest In a region with a population of about 20,000, the scale and capabilities of various local governments vary significantly.

Each local government works for its own purpose, there is no one agency responsible for coordinating the use and development of water resources in the entire basin, sewage treatment is highly localized, and there are many problems in effectively carrying out work in the basin.

Alan Wilson's plan was released much earlier than the prime minister expected. To be honest, as the secretary general of the cabinet, he is more urgent about the wave of nationalization than the prime minister himself.

This comprehensive plan for the establishment of a British water company is earlier than the "Water Resources Act" that the Prime Minister is planning to promulgate.

"In the next few days, the teams from the Middle East and Malaya will return to London. They are the most suitable talents in the UK. They have been in charge of water supply companies, seawater desalination, water purification systems, etc. locally. They have accumulated considerable experience." Alan Wilson talked eloquently and showed with practical actions that he has done everything for the prime minister's nationalization plan.

"At the beginning, I only saw your talent in diplomatic work. Now it seems that you have become a beloved cabinet secretary, which is absolutely reasonable." Prime Minister Harold was amazed, and Whitehall came up with a plan so quickly. feel happy.
