Abstract
In this book we have set out the experience of hung authorities in Great Britain in the period from 1985 to 1989, although drawing upon other experience where it was appropriate. The importance of 1985 to 1989 was that during that period there was a significant increase in the number of hung authorities, particularly in the counties. Between 1985 and 1989 as we have seen, about half the counties were hung, enabling us to study the experience of the hung situation across a wide range of major authorities as well as to draw upon other experience.
