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.
All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of this data. Nevertheless the complexity of Ministerial appointments, changes in the machinery of government and the very large number of Ministerial changes between 1979 and 1997 mean that there may be some omissions from this list.
Please send any comments or corrections to the Parliament & Constitution Centre. Suggestions for new lists welcomed.
