History
Election(s)	2017

The current ministry of the government of Great Nortend, the 3rd Limmes Ministry, was formed on the 1st of April, 2017 after Alexander II invited The Duke of Limmes to reform government following the Coalition of the Company of Scodeliers and the Conservative Party expansion of its majority in the Houses of Commons following the 2017 general election. There were no major changes in the composition of the Cabinet, although some junior minister positions were reshuffled.

Cabinet

The Green Chamber is where Orders in Council are officially made and sealed.

The Cabinet serves as the main decision-making body of the Erbonian Government. It is constituted as a committee of the Privy Council, and by convention includes only those members thereof currently sitting in Parliament or entitled to do so. The Cabinet is headed by the Lord High Treasurer, primus inter pares holding the informal position of Prime Minister.

The Officers of State hold seats in Cabinet ex officio; however, it is rare for the Lords High Steuard, Admiral, Constable and Chamberlain to sit in Cabinet meetings, owing to their mostly ceremonial or administrative roles. Most Orders in Council of the Privy Council are made with the presence of at least one Cabinet member.

Not all cabinet members head a government ministry. In particular, the masters and lord masters of several important government boards do not head ministries, yet still form part of the Cabinet.

List of Government ministries

A ministry is a office of the Curia Regis headed by a minister of the Crown who is appointed by the Sovereign in camera. Ministers are always Privy Counsellours, whence they derive their name.

Presently, there are nine ministries in His Majesty's Government. The list does not include offices and boards subordinate to another ministry, such as the Board of Railways or the Board of Agriculture. It also does not include non-ministerial departments, such as the Lord High Treasurer's Office or departments unconnected to government.
