Abstract
The modest celebrity occasioned by figuring in an examination paper alongside Titmuss, Townsend, Halsey or Donnison is flattering. Consider, however, its real meaning and its implications.

Assess this New Right perspective in terms of what you know about the Welfare State.
University of Oxford Advanced Level Sociology Examination 1992.
