Cabinet posts

Study note

The Prime Minister appoints senior ministers to the Cabinet. Key roles include the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is in charge of the economy, the Home Secretary, responsible for crime, policing and immigration, and the Foreign Secretary, who deals with relations with other countries.

Memory tip: Chancellor = the economy; Home Secretary = crime/policing/immigration; Foreign Secretary = abroad.
