Collective responsibility
Collective responsibility, the concept of collective responsibility is essentially a political concept. The country is governed by the party in power on the basis of the policies adopted and laid down by it in the Cabinet meeting. 'Collective responsibility' has two meanings: the first meaning which can legitimately be ascribed to it is that all members of a government are unanimous in support of its policies and would exhibit that unanimity on public occasions although while formulating the polices, they might have expressed a different view in the meeting of the Cabinet. The other meaning is that Ministers, who had an opportunity to speak for or against the polices in the Cabinet are thereby personally and morally responsible for its success and failure, Common Cause, A Registered Society v.

Increase of Rent and Mortgage (Restrictions) Acts (English)
Increase of Rent and Mortgage (Restrictions) Acts (English). A series of statutes, each of a temporary character, curtailing the contractual rights, in respect of certain classes of property, of landlords and mortgagees. This legislation was rendered necessary, in the first instance, by the conditions caused by the outbreak of the Great War. The continuance of the protection to tenants and mortgagees of dwelling-houses afforded by the later Acts was made necessary by the housing shortage, caused principally by the economic effects of the war. The Courts (Emergency Powers) Act,1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 78), was the first of such Acts: it restricted the right to levy distress or resume possession of property by landlords and of mortgagees to foreclose or realize their security.
