UK Ministries, Departments and Cabinet Offices Basics

Doing business in the United Kingdom requires some knowledge of UK ministries, departments and cabinet offices basics. Four separate countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the UK. The UK government is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarch. This means that the head of state is a king or queen, and the head of the government is the prime minister. Citizens elect members of Parliament to represent them.

While the government in the UK is much like the US government, there are a few differences. The queen appoints the prime minister, and the prime minister appoints the members of the cabinet, which is the central governing committee. The number and duties of United Kingdom ministries can sometimes change through the creation of new ministries or the shifting of duties from one to another. Here are some important services UK ministries provide to businesses:

1. The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform deals with trade and exports.

2. The Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills supports research and workplace training.

3. UK Foreign Ministry helps promote UK companies abroad and provides essential information for business travelers.
