MP who heads a department (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabinet minister

(Other definitions for cabinet minister that I've seen before include "senior politician" , "member of government" , "went down to provide 22 24 [WHISKY GALORE] - with 17d" , "May perhaps" , "high-ranking member?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
