Government in Scotland is
led by the First Minister. The Scottish Parliament nominates
one of its Members to be appointed as First Minister by the
Queen. He is assisted by various Cabinet Secretaries
(Ministers). The Scottish Government is responsible in
Scotland for all issues that are not explicitly reserved to
the United Kingdom Parliament at Westminster, all else falls
under UK rule. Call for more info at:
