Issues related with central government - Her Majesty's Government (HMG) - part four

(c) Explain who appoints government ministers.

The queen appoints the government ministers on the recommendation of the prime minister.

This is derived from the Royal Prerogative power, which means, in this case, sovereign power is exercised 'on the advice of ministers' – it is ministers and in most cases, the prime minister to make the necessary decisions.

Ministers, including prime minister, are Ministers of the Crown.
