It's no good trying to deflect blame onto the Civil Service. It's always government Ministers who have responsibility and who make the final decisions. The Civil Service just executes those decisions or attempts to, even if the decisions are bonkers, but the government can't expect the Civil Service to break the law for them. That's against the Civil Service Code and against the Ministerial Code also.
