The Privy Council is one of the oldest parts of Government, but it has, over time, adapted to reflect the fact that the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. Appointment to the Privy Council is for life, but only Ministers of the democratically elected Government of the day participate in its policy work.

The Ministerial head of the Privy Council Office is the President of the Council. This post is usually combined with that of Leader of the House of Commons, with the important task of ensuring that the business of Parliament is properly planned and taken forward.
