Coronavirus: Who is responsible if the watch is sick?

Oct 25,2023 2:01 am

Minister of Foreign Affairs said that he had "all authority" he needs to relevant decisions, as he deputised for Boris Johnson -while he was in the hospital with the Corona Virus.

The Prime Minister , is recovering well in Chequers, and is not expected to return to work for some time.

So, Who Else is there to share, and how decisions while the Prime Minister is sick?

Why is Dominic Raab is responsible?

Mr Raab is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, But he also has the title of him for years of service prior to any other mini.

So, if Mr Johnson is not back to his post, Mr Raab would be instance of the acquisition in The First .

to strike If Mr Johnson was moved to the intensive care unit, Mr Raab said the government would continue to focus on it, "in the Prime Minister 's direction," coronavirus.

Why is there no Deputy Prime Minister ?

The Role of The Deputy Prime Minister - as The First Secretary of State - is not a permanent position in the government. Someone ordered at the discretion of the Prime Minister .

The Last Deputy Prime Minister was the liberal Democrats, Nick Clegg , during the 2010-15 coalition government with the Conservatives.

What to do, Dominic Raab , to be able to?

Although Mr. Raab was first asked to deputise for the PM while he is in the ICU, we know very little about the exact extent of his authority.

There are several things that could only be the Prime Minister can do that - But some of these included, Mr Raab without much trouble.

For example, he was able to. recommendations to The Queen on appointments to the senior judiciary and senior positions in The Church of England

But it is difficult to imagine him carrying Out a government reshuffle seems Even if, formally, it is, and that he had the power.

It would be difficult to authorize for him to military measures in the short term. Other Ministers would probably agree, The First one, But the Dollar would cease to be with the Lord Raab.

Then there are the nuclear submarines, the commanding officers instructions on what to do in case of a fatal attack. It is unlikely that Mr would have Raab to write you, unless, Mr Johnson was unable to work for a long time.

What are the collective responsibility?

When asked if his role, the decisions, Mr Raab said it was "total unity" among his colleagues in The Cabinet , and referred to The System of collective responsibility.

It means that, in practice, all important decisions will probably be taken by Mr Raab, in consultation with The Cabinet or, if appropriate, officers.

The Cabinet is The ultimate decision-making body of the government, most of the Ministers, including the Minister of the interior, the Minister of health and the Minister of Finance. is

After the February elections, Boris Johnson , the 22 ordinary members - including Himself and the four other members present.

So, Even though he is The Head of the government has some specific powers, most of the important decisions are made jointly in The Cabinet .

And The Principle of "collective responsibility" means that each Cabinet's decision is binding for each member - Even if you personally disagree with.

Not all decisions are taken by the full Cabinet. It is normal that it is "concentrated cabinet Committee" - Smaller groups of Ministers on specific topics.

there are special coronavirus committees?

There are four "implementation committees" to different parts of the answer.

you are looking at the health sector, The Public sector response, the economy, and The International response.

Each chaired by a Minister and daily feeding in a cross - "C-19-meeting" led in the Prime Minister ' s absence, by Dominic Raab .

What if Boris Johnson officially refused taxes?

When Boris Johnson was not able to continue as PM, The Rules for what will happen next is unclear - a result of the British unwritten Constitution. But we have some idea of what could happen.

This is the closest thing we have to a document in which The Role of the Prime Minister .

He proposes that The Cabinet would select a replacement, who would ask The Queen to form a government. This might Raab, Mr, or another senior MP. The Expectation is that he or she would be in this Position until the Conservative Party appointed a new leader.

According to The Institute for government think-tank, the Prime Minister continues in office unless they resign or die.

He adds: "While the Political Parties have in General The Ability to appoint an "interim" if the leader resigns or is disabled, there is no formal "acting Prime Minister " role. He or she will be the Prime Minister would be until she decided to resign, or if her Cabinet forced her Out of it. "
