What is the difference between a minister's departmental responsibility and Council's collective responsibility?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A minister answers for the department, while the whole Council answers for joint policy

Correct answer: A. Departmental responsibility is individual responsibility. The minister in charge must explain the work, decisions, expenditure, and performance of that particular ministry before Parliament. Collective responsibility is wider: the Council of Ministers acts as a team and stands together behind the government’s major policies and decisions. The Council is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, so it must retain the confidence of the elected House. First identify the person responsible for one department; that gives departmental responsibility. Then consider the common position of the entire ministry; that gives collective responsibility. B is wrong because ministers are accountable. C is wrong because courts do not own a minister’s department. D is wrong because collective responsibility concerns the political Council, not only permanent officials. A useful cue is: one ministry, one minister; one government policy, the whole Council.
