writing manifestoes for political parties
The correct answer is: E
Explanation
Writing manifestoes for political parties is not a function of the civil service. The civil service is a non-partisan government body responsible for advising ministers, preparing the annual budget, maintaining records and serving as an intermediary between the public and the government. Writing political party manifestoes is the responsibility of political parties themselves, not the civil service.
