What is the chain of command for the English government?

Answer 1

In Great Britain, the country is led by the prime minister, who is supported by the cabinet and ministers. The prime minister is responsible for all decisions and policy. The next most important role in the British government is that of the deputy prime minister. Next is the cabinet which consists of high ranking, experienced political leaders, who meet to discuss what they believe to be the most important issues. The government's ministers are chosen by the prime minister from both the House of Commons and House of Lords.

Answer 2

The seniority of the British Cabinet is generally accepted as the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister (if appointed), Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary. The Monarch, as Head of State, retains ultimate power over the Government at all times.
