The doctrine of individual ministerial responsibility in British government was reviewed from 1966 to 1983. New methods of parliamentary scrutiny were introduced, increasing accountability of ministers and civil servants to Parliament. This led to a new regime of parliamentary accountability, with traditional scrutiny methods complemented by new Select Committees and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration. The period saw no revival of sanctions as a key element of the doctrine, but overall, individual ministerial responsibility remains a key aspect of how British government operates.
