Here is my take on relations between the MoM and Muggle government-- 
other members have written about wondering if ALL the British Prime 
Ministers know about the MoM, and therefore the use of magic and the 
magical community, etc.  
I think that the MoM is a secret division of the Muggle government, 
and there are probably wizards masquerading as muggles working there 
who carry out orders from the Ministry.  The work they do is so 
"sensitive" that they have their own authority, kind of like a "Men 
In Black" set-up.  They can alert the Prime Minister that there's an 
escapee from a "highly secret security prison" on the loose, without 
mentioning that this "secret" facility is a prison for wizards.  

.... Or something like that.  ;)
