- Ministers make policies?
- Civil servants are only there to serve the current government, offer advice + suggestions
- 'Ministers decide, civil servants advise'
- on average, senior civil servants serve 20 years and therefore have lots of knowledge in the area which they share with the Minister
- The minister is the one who is elected into the House of Commons and selected by the HoC
- Ministerial responsibility
- Essentially the Minister is held responsible under this theory therefore they should be able to justify the reasons why they have chosen each policy that is put in place
- Ministers are the ones who make the decision and the Civil Servants try and establish a way it can be put into practise
- Civil servants are only there to serve the current government, offer advice + suggestions
