The bodies of government in the United Kingdom are: those of legislature, which consists of the Queen in Parliament and is the supreme authority of the country; those of the executive and those of the judiciary.
The executive bodies consist of 1) the cabinet and other ministers of the crown who are responsible for directing national policy; 20 government departments who are responsible for administration at the national level; 3) local authorities who administer. and control many services at the local level; and 4) statutory boards who are responsible for the operation of particular nationalized industries or public services. The highest judicial body in the English judicial system is the House of Lords.
The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the party that has a majority in the House of Commons. The Prime Minister usually takes policy decisions with the agreement of the cabinet (a committee of leading Ministers). Each new Prime Minister may make changes in the size of his cabinet and may create new ministries or make other changes. The prime Minister holds Cabinet meetings, at his (her) house at number 10 Downing Street, which is very near the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.
