That depends on how the Prime Minister runs the Cabinet. The way I do it, no — and this fits the post-GC trend of ministries not having deputies but rather having a team (the board, as I called it above), with the Minister (or in their absence the Prime Minister) liaisoning.
A Prime Minister that is not you or me could handle this differently, but in my subjective opinion, that's not the best way to utilize the soft power of the office.
