Public Services Sector was created in 1975 and had two distinct functions originally: a) General Expenditure Policy and Analysis and; b) the annual bilateral expenditure discussions on Local Government, Devolution, Social Services, Home, Transport, Education, Defence Policy and Materiel. The types of records created in OSCEU file prefix would have concerned the latter function.
By 1981, a 'Local Government Group' and a 'Social Services and Territorial Group' were created under a Public Services Sector to replace the earlier organisation. Bilateral expenditure discussions with the Ordnance Survey and the various government urban development bodies were covered by the Housing Environment and Property Services Group whereas discussions with Crown Estates were (rather unusually) covered by the Health Services Division. This organisation seems to have continued to 1991 with the exception that bilateral discussions with Ordnance Survey, urban development bodies and the Crown Estates were now all covered by Local Government Group, Housing and Environment (Division). In 1994, Environment (LG3) replaced Housing and Environment (Division) under the same organisational structure. In 1996, a shallower organisational structure was introduced. 'Spending' (Sector) replaced the Public Services (Sector) and Local Government (LG) (Group) continued under it and seems to have continued responsibility for annual bilateral discussions between Treasury and Ordnance Survey, Crown Estates and various urban development programmes. Divisions were dispensed with after 1996.
