BRIEFING PAPER Number 06544, 15 October 2017

Ministers in the 2010 Compiled by

Coalition Government Sarah Priddy

This list notes ministerial office holders in the 2010 Coalition Government. Ministers’ dates of office Until the 2015 General Election, all Minsters carried on in their posts. After the Conservative party won a majority in the 2015 General Election, the Prime announced senior government Cabinet appointments on 8 May 2015 at which point all Liberal Democrat Ministers ceased to be Ministers. Where a Conservative Minister continued to serve in the new Government, this is indicated in the end date column in the note: • Continued to hold the same office is indicated by ‘continued in post’ • Continued in Government but in another Department, is shown by ‘continued in Govt’ • Another role within the same government department is shown by ‘continued in Dept’ An end-date is given for all Ministers who left the Government where known. Further information The Commons briefing paper on limitations on the number of Ministers and the size of the payroll vote sets out the statutory limits that apply to ministerial appointments. Further information on Ministers is available on the Ministers’ topic page on the Parliament website which contains links to briefings produced by the House of Commons Library, the Library and Select Committee reports. Sources Members Names Information Service; DODS People; and Number 10 press notices and the Government List of Ministerial Responsibilities.
