Cabinet and Ministers
The Scottish Cabinet
The Cabinet is the main decision-making body of the Scottish Government. It is made up of the First Minister and all Cabinet Secretaries. The Permanent Secretary attends Cabinet meetings as Secretary to the Cabinet. The Minister for Parliamentary Business is not a member of Cabinet but attends weekly to discuss forthcoming business in the Parliament. The Lord Advocate is not a member of Cabinet but attends when required in order to provide legal advice and to represent her Ministerial interests. Cabinet meetings are held weekly while Parliament is sitting in Bute House, Edinburgh, and may also be held at other times in locations throughout Scotland.
