Ministers in the Labour Governments: 1997–2010 (435 KB , Excel Spreadsheet)
Where an individual was a Minister at the time of the May 2010 general election the end of his/her term of office has been given as 6 May. Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable in the sources used 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 1997 and 2010 mean that there may be some omissions from this list.
This series of publications contains data on various subjects relating to Parliament and Government. Topics include legislation, MPs, select committees, debates, divisions and Parliamentary procedure.
