Ministerial Resignations
Current List
"Resignation" has been defined as the discontinuation of a Minister's presence in the Cabinet before dissolution of Parliament, or before the end of a Ministry. Those Ministers who were in the Cabinet but who subsequently resigned as a result of failing to hold a seat in Parliament, have not been included. The same is true for those not included when a new Parliament was summoned.
