Ministries

Abstract

The following list contains all holders of paid and political ministerial offices since 1900. It leaves out some office-holders, since various offices in the Royal Household have during the past century ceased to be political appointments. The list also omits some politicians with governmental posts, since various other offices such as the Church Estates Commissioners are at times filled by M.P.s who are not regarded as part of the Ministry. Assistant Government Whips were unpaid until the 1964 Parliament and are not listed until then. Parliamentary Private Secretaries are also unlisted.
