June 2017
editI have changed this to reflect the arrangements for the 2nd May Cabinet following the June 2017 General election. Dunarc (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
January 2018
editI have made changes based on the recent cabinet reshuffle. As the position of First Secretary of State is now not in use I have removed it from the template. I have linked Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to Minister for the Cabinet Office as the offices are now joined, and added Minister without portfolio. I have also added Minister of State for Climate Change and Industry to attending cabinet. Dunarc (talk) 16:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Great offices of state
editI was wondering whether there was any real need to distinguish between the holders of the great offices of state and other cabinet ministers in the template: would it not be best to simply order the cabinet ministers by ministerial ranking? Indeed, last year and earlier this year, Michael Gove, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, actually outranked all the holders of the great offices of state except for the Prime Minister, but this would not have been represented in the table. What does anybody else think? FollowTheTortoise (talk) 13:51, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- I have been bold and gone ahead with editing the template. One thing to note is that I don't think that I entered an edit summary, but hopefully it is clear what I did from here. FollowTheTortoise (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
