Cabinet Ministers may delegate certain daily operations of a department under their control to a Minister of State.

The Prime Minister may choose to assign a courtesy title that appropriately describes the duties assigned to a Minister of State. Such a courtesy title is distinct from the title of a Cabinet Minister, which is delegated by law through an Act of Parliament.
