What are "line ministers"?
It appears in the following context?
The government, particularly the line ministers and
with the possible support of the prime minister,
seems to be having a change of heart. Recently, the
Minister of Industry said that the line ministers are
not in agreement with the fiscal rule in its current
form and suggested that it may not be applied before
the 2012 budget.
My guess is that they are a series of ministers related to or in charge of a particular issue. No?
