Ministers in the Conservative Governments: 1979–1997 (77 KB , PDF)
Where an individual was a Minister at the time of the May 1997 general election the end of his/her term of office has been given as 2 May. Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable only the month is given.

Please send any comments or corrections to the Parliament & Constitution Centre. Suggestions for new lists welcomed.
