| | New Zealand Cabinet - definition of New Zealand Cabinet in Encyclopedia |
 | | This convention is strong enough for Cabinet to be referenced by many official declarations and regulations, and there is a government department with explicit responsibility for supporting it (the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet), but these do not constitute a direct legislative framework for its existence. | | | Cabinet is not established by any legislative act. | | | The informal structure of Cabinet rests upon a formal institution known as the Executive Council. |
