Yes, I do think there is a real dilemma here, in that while it has been government policy to regard policy as the responsibility of Ministers and administration as the responsibility of officials, questions of administrative policy can cause confusion between the administration of policy and the policy of administration, especially when responsibility for the adminstration of the policy of adminstration conflicts or overlaps with responsibility for the policy of the administration of policy.
