Ministerial Departments are led politically by a Government Minister, and cover matters that require direct political oversight.
For most Departments, the Government Minister in question is known as a Secretary of State and is a member of the Cabinet.
The administrative management of the Department is led by a senior civil servant known as a Permanent Secretary.

The United Kingdom was formed by Acts of Union which united the Kingdom of England (which included Wales as a principality) with the Kingdom of Scotland and later the Kingdom of Ireland as a single state under the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The government is answerable chiefly to the House of Commons and the Prime Minister is drawn from this chamber of Parliament by constitutional convention.
At the April 2001 UK Census, the United Kingdom's population was 58,789,194, the third-largest in the European Union (behind Germany and France) and the twenty-first largest in the world.

 H.M. TREASURY Funding the Scottish Parliament, National Assembly for Wales and Northern Ireland Assembly
This calculation is made for each United Kingdom departmental programme in DEL and the sum of these results represents the aggregate net change to the assigned budget element of the Departmental Expenditure Limits for each of the devolved administrations (as shown in the tables in Sections 12 to 14 below).
However, where the United Kingdom departmental programme covers England and Wales, such as the Home Office and legal departments, then the proportion of the population of England and Wales is applied.
Thus the presumption is that departments and the devolved administrations will contain pressures on their budget by re-allocating priorities, seeking offsetting savings and using unspent entitlements from the preceding year, not through in-year access to the DEL Reserve.
