Question

To whom is every minister responsible for his work?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Responsible Government

As Members of Parliament, Ministers are responsible to it. This is the basis of the principle of responsible government. It is a firmly established convention that the Ministers – both collectively and individually - are responsible for their actions and for the decisions of Cabinet.

Answer 2

Answer:

Individual ministerial responsibility is a constitutional convention in governments using the Westminster System that a cabinet minister bears the ultimate responsibility for the actions of their ministry or department. Individual ministerial responsibility is not the same as cabinet collective responsibility, which states members of the cabinet must approve publicly of its collective decisions or resign. This means that a motion for a vote of "no confidence" is not in order should the actions of an organ of government fail in the proper discharge of their responsibilities. Where there is ministerial responsibility, the accountable minister is expected to take the blame and ultimately resign, but the majority or coalition within parliament of which the minister is part, is not held to be answerable for that minister's failure.
