Pitt And Administartion

Question 1

What were the problems with the British governments administration?

Answer 1

. It was too small, only about 3000 people made up the administration and this was too small to run the country efficiently.
. Resources were often inefficiently deployed, some areas were undermanned and other area were overmanned.

Question 2

How did Pitt deal with the problems with the Administration?

Answer 2

. Pitt used retrenchment to actually cut 600 jobs from the Administration and he therefore made it smaller but it was now more organised and efficient.
. To fix the inefficient deployment of resources, Pitt abolished roles that were useless and increased manpower in more important sectors, therefore making the Administration more efficient.
