Talk:Second Cameron ministry

Total number of UK ministries/cabinets edit

Is the Second Cameron ministry really the 91st ministry of the United Kingdom since 1707? The First, Second and Third Thatcher ministries are seen as the 85th, 86th, and 87th ministries/cabinets of the United Kingdom since 1707. But the Major ministry is also seen as the 87th ministry, followed by the Blair ministry as the 88th, the Brown ministry as the 89th, and the First Cameron ministry as the 90th. But surely after the Third Thatcher ministry (the 87th ministry/cabinet), the First Major ministry should have been the 88th, and after the 1992 General Election the Second Major ministry as the 89th. Followed by the Blair ministry as the 90th, 91st, and 92nd, and the Brown ministry as the 93rd. Which would then mean the First Cameron ministry was the 94th and the Second Cameron ministry is the 95th. HLE (talk) 19:02, 8 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

You are entirely correct, and the numbers should be changed. This is only messed-up because of the patchwork way in which Wikipedia articles on these matters were developed. I've fixed them all. RGloucester 19:04, 8 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Boris Johnson edit

Should we include Boris Johnson on the list? It states on this BBC Article that he will be attending some limited number of cabinet meetings.

That's not the British cabinet. That's the "political cabinet", which is not a government institution, but a meeting of high-ranking Tories. RGloucester 17:34, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Ok. That's what I thought. Thunderstorm008 (talk) 18:12, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Baroness Anelay edit

Someone has added her to the Attending Cabinet list... is she still in her position and/or attending Cabinet? Argovian (talk) 21:20, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I can't find her on the official announcement, nor any mention of her re-appointment nor status in the new cabinet in twitter or in web news searches. It must be an error. I deleted her entry. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:19, 12 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
An unregistered user added her back, as her name has now been added to the official announcement. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 16:25, 12 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Use of Rt Hon edit

It should probably be noted that the current Secretary of State for Wales (Alun Cairns)is not a member of the Privy Council, yet the template states that he is. While this will no doubt change in the coming days... the information is currently incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.167.254.160 (talk) 14:32, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
