Notes: Ministers who departed office simultaneously with leaving Parliament are not listed. Departing ministers' replacements are listed only where comparable ministerial responsiblities are transferred; this is not always the case, as ministerial reshuffles may coincide with a reallocation of responsibilities within Government departments.
