The Cabinet of the British Virgin Islands (formerly referred to as the Executive Council, or sometimes ExCo) is the collective decision-making body of the British Virgin Islands government. It is composed of the Premier, four other Ministers of Government, and the Attorney General as an ex officio, non-voting, member.[1] The Governor attends and presides over meetings of Cabinet where possible.[2] The Cabinet has responsibility for the formulation of policy, including directing the implementation of such policy, insofar as it relates to every aspect of government, except those matters for which are reserved to the Governor under the Constitution.[3] The Cabinet is collectively responsible to the House of Assembly for such policies and their implementation.
The Cabinet is supported by a Cabinet Secretary, who summons meetings of Cabinet.[4] The agenda of Cabinet is set by the Cabinet Steering Committee, which consists of the Cabinet Secretary, the Governor, and the Premier. Each of the governors and the Premier has the authority to add matters to the Cabinet agenda.[5]
