Some civil servants do not report to Ministers but work for a number of non-Ministerial Government Departments (NMGDs), whose detailed status varies considerably from one to another:- How the intervention of Boris Johnson has affected the stand-off between the Cabinet Office and the Covid Inquiry 1st June 2023 The “technicality” you speak of is in fact rather important and certainly needed further elaboration. Parliament, the Executive and the Courts all function “technically” in the name of the crown. Obviously the police must be sensitive to public opinion but that opinion is expressed by Parliament in law, not by opinionated individuals or groups, least of all by a shrill press. The police should not have to ask the transgressor for permission to arrest her because some segment of society thinks it unfair. Although, it was some years after my taking up my commission before I stopped being looked at askance, if not with some hostility, particularly, at the start of a training course, because I had not come up through the ranks. There are around 45 of these bodies (such as HM Passport Office, the Met Office, DVLA, Public Health England, and Companies House) which constitutionally remain an integral part of their parent department. However, they generally implement established policies so it makes sense for them to be run semi-independently from their department's head offices. Most MPs who wish to raise constituency matters with such Agencies are content to correspond directly with their Chief Executives, rather than through Ministerial intermediaries.
Government Ministers are appointed by the Monarch. They and their civil servants spend money voted by Parliament.
