The Prime Minister, chooses a committee of ministers called the Cabinet. This is made up of a selection of senior Members of Parliament from the House of Commons and some members of the House of Lords. Each member of the Cabinet is a minister responsible for a government department. The Cabinet meets at the Prime Minister’s house- 10 Downing Street.The Cabinet works as a team and all ministers must always agree in public because they are collectively responsible for the decisions they make. If a minister cannot agree with all the others, he usually resigns from the Cabinet. Cabinet meetings are held in private and the details must remain secret for at least 30 years. They are responsible to Parliament and must answer questions from backbenchers from the House of Commons. Even the Prime Minister must answer questions every Tuesday and Thursday in the Commons - this is called Prime Minister’s Question Time.Cabinet meetings are held in private and the details must remain secret for at least 30 years.
