Why is only an announcement not enough in a major policy decision?

Correct answer: Because it must pass through rules, approval and implementation

Correct answer: A. An announcement communicates an intention or decision, but people are affected only when the decision is supported by the required legal, administrative and financial arrangements. Relevant authorities may need to approve it, rules may need to explain how it will operate, and government officials must carry it out. Implementation also requires monitoring so that problems can be corrected. Option A is correct because it shows the difference between announcing a policy and making it work in practice. Option B is wrong because a public announcement is generally meant to communicate information, not remain private. Option C is wrong because Parliament may discuss, examine or hold the government accountable, depending on the nature of the decision; “never” is incorrect. Option D is wrong because officials have an important role in administration and implementation. Memory cue: announcement is the beginning of action, not action itself.
