What can be the purpose of Cabinet confidentiality?

Correct answer: To help ministers discuss freely and give collective decision

Correct answer: A. Cabinet confidentiality protects the privacy of discussions before a government decision is finalised. Ministers may have different views and should be able to examine evidence, question proposals, and disagree during the internal discussion without fearing that every preliminary remark will be used publicly against them. After discussion, the Cabinet reaches a decision, and ministers are expected to support it publicly under the principle of collective responsibility. Confidentiality therefore supports honest deliberation and a united decision; it does not mean that the government is permanently free from public or parliamentary accountability. B is wrong because confidentiality is not a licence to deny rights. C is wrong because it has nothing to do with abolishing courts. D is wrong because it does not keep the President away from elections. Memory cue: private discussion, public collective responsibility.
