Why does final policy responsibility remain with the minister even though the permanent executive has experience?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the minister is part of the elected government and is politically accountable

Correct answer: A. The permanent executive, made up mainly of civil servants, provides expertise, continuity, records, and advice. However, civil servants are not elected to decide the broad political direction of the government. Ministers belong to the elected political executive and have a democratic mandate. They decide or approve policy and must explain it to Parliament and the public. Thus, even when officials help prepare a proposal and implement it, the minister carries final political responsibility. B is wrong because permanent officials are appointed, not elected as representatives. C is wrong because a secretary is a senior official and is not the President. D is wrong because Parliament can question ministers and examine administration through debates, questions, committees, and discussions. The minister is responsible for the department while officials assist in its administration. Memory cue: officials provide expertise; elected ministers provide political direction and answerability.
