If a minister accepts an official’s advice, does the minister become free from political responsibility?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, final political responsibility remains with the minister

The correct answer is A: final political responsibility remains with the minister. Officials may give technical, legal or administrative advice, and a minister may accept that advice while making a decision. However, the minister heads the department, represents it in the legislature and remains politically accountable for its policies and actions. Accepting advice does not transfer the minister’s constitutional and political responsibility to the official. B is wrong because an official does not become Prime Minister merely by giving advice. C is wrong because Parliament holds the responsible minister accountable, even when officials assisted in preparing the decision. D is wrong because the President does not become a departmental minister. Memory cue: advice may come from officials, but political responsibility follows the minister in charge.
