看新闻如鲠在喉，还都是些国内驻英的记者写的稿。
英国的大臣叫什么，次官叫什么？
多年前，工作清闲，我还给新华社伦敦分社打过电话更正过他们的类似错误。
顺带问一下，secretary 跟 minister差别在哪儿？
This answer relates to the UK.
Like many answers related to the UK government, it’s not straightforward…
Ministers and Cabinet Ministers
We should start with the Prime Minister. This is not a directly elected role - there is no national ballot to who should by PM. Instead, there is a general election every few years in which all the ‘Members of Parliament’ stand for (re-)election. After the election, there is either a single party with a majority, or there isn’t. If there’s a single party with a majority, the head of that party is normally immediately chosen as Prime Minister. If there is no single party with a majority, the heads of parties talk to each other, cut deals, and ultimately a co-alition government is formed. In the last 50 years, there has been precisely one coalition government - the current one, and the Prime Minister is head of the larger party in that coalition (with the Deputy Prime Minister being head of the smaller party.)
The Prime Minister is formally invited by the Sovereign to form a government…
A minister is (normally) a Member of Parliament who has been chosen by the Prime Minister to run a major department. There are 25 UK departments which are headed by a Minister. (And a similar number who are run by someone with a more junior title.)
Given the two chambers - the House of Commons (elected) and the House of Lords (appointed by a range of governments), it is possible for a minister to be a member of the House of Lords rather than a directly elected Member of Parliament. This is the only situation where a minister wouldn’t be chosen from the pool of elected representatives.
Just to confuse things, some larger Ministries have more than one Minister (for example, the Ministry of Defence has Phil Hammond as Number 1, and Nick Harvey as Number 2 - Nick Harvey being 'Minister of State for Defence.)
Historically, government departments were called ‘Ministries’. The term was changed a decade or so ago, with the vast majority of departments now using the term 'Department. The Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Justice retain the old terms. (The Monty Python team used the term ‘Ministry of silly walks’ in 1970, when the terminology was normal and more recently, J.K.Rowling used the term for the 'Ministry of Magic.)
The 22 most senior Ministers, plus the Prime Minister, form the Cabinet. These are known as ‘Cabinet Ministers.’
Secretaries
The term ‘secretary’ is used for a variety of things.
Some of the roles are held by elected officials (ie Members of Parliament who are chosen by the Prime Minister for a particular job):
The term ‘Secretary of State’ is used for some of the more senior ministers.
Next comes ‘Minister of State’, the second tier.
The term ‘Parliamentary undersecretary’ is the third and lowest tier of minister.
Finally comes ‘Parliamentary private secretary’, a member of parliament who isn’t a minister, but assists a minister as their liason to parliament.
However, some of the people with the job title ‘secretary’ are civil servants (ie non-elected members of the professional civil service, who serve no matter which party is in power.)
The Cabinet Secretary is head of the Civil Service, and also Head of the Cabinet Office, which is the civil service department that provides direct assistance to the PM as well as to the cabinet.
The term ‘permanent secretary’ (which is a short way of saying ‘permanent under-secretary of state’) is typically the most senior civil servant, who runs the department on a day to day basis. There are 42 permanent secretaries in the UK civil service.
The term ‘private secretary’ refers to the assistant to the minister. (S)he reports directly to the minister, rather than the permanent secretary. In some departments, however, permanent secretaries also have an assistant who holds the rank of ‘private secretary.’ Actually, there’s a whole gamut of these in bigger departments… in order ‘principal private secretary’, ‘private secretary’, ‘assistant private secretary’,
And finally, a word or two about the etymology.
Minister comes from the old French, and means ‘one who serves.’
Secretary literally means ‘one who keeps a secret’, reflecting the confidential nature of the role. The use of the word to mean ‘office assistant’ is far, far, more recent than the use of the word to mean ‘senior official’. To this extent, a ‘Company secretary’ in the UK is a senior figure, either a Director, or of equal authority to a Director, and with a bunch of legal responsibilities for reporting / compliance.
The term Cabinet dates from pre-revolutionary France, and was the inner part of King Louis’ bedroom - only the most senior government officials were allowed to enter the cabinet. Worth remembering when politicians get egos too large.)
刚刚宣布的，环境大臣。 
你发帖子的时候还不是,但是现在是Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs了.
越来越觉得May是黑色幽默高手， Andrea Leadsom竞选leader时候许愿过，EU给英国farmer（农民？农场主？）的补贴以后她的政府会继续给，现在May给Leadsom这个职位就是要负责这方面的，另外EU通过regional development给英国很多地方钱，regional development也是环境大臣的事情，又一个hot potato给了Brexiter。 
先说说你串通成龙沉了我帖子的事情
成龙,先说说西北偏北怎么让你沉了我帖子的事情,换什么话题,讨论起环境大臣了
其他话题先放放,我的公道我先讨回来
regional fund在谢菲尔德都是造桥修路。
成龙,你做人公正点儿,如果不是,我要采取点儿措施
开贴讨论政治先说说黑我的事情
西北,千万别把你老婆孩子什么的发出来,赚同情分,男人外面做事情说话责任自己担起来
我已经回答过你很多次了，再回答你一次。
1。这个版不只我一个版主，任何一个版主还有论坛的站长都可以删你的贴，我说过我不删你的贴就不删你的贴，你要怎么样和别人争论你就争论和我没有任何关系，我不会删你的贴也不想和你争论。
2。我和论坛里的任何人没有任何联系，我在论坛里的存在和论坛外现实生活的存在是完全分开的，论坛里我不会帮任何人，但我会帮有道理的人说话。
3。我的工作和房子装修没有任何关系，我没有干装修的那个体力，我只是对房子装修和投资房子感兴趣，来这个论坛向大家学习同时也和大家分享点经验。更直接的说，我来论坛就是来娱乐的。
4。虽然我认识的不少人装修用过中国装修队，但我自己家装修从来没有用过中国装修队，原因很简单，我老婆是犹太俄罗斯人，她不说中文但她能说波兰语，她和波兰人容易交流。好多年以前我们家需要刷墙的时候去wickes买东西（本来打算自己刷的），她和几个买东西的波兰装修工人聊了聊价钱不贵就让他们来帮我们刷，后来我家所有装修都是波兰人干的。
最后再说一次，你和论坛里的任何人的争论不关我的事，你想怎么说就怎么说我不会删你的贴。
你删了很多了都,怎么说没有删
