Privy Council

This is the Privy Council, starting afresh from the 21st Parliament (May 2015). The Privy Council is made up of all appointed Cabinet Ministers in Her Majesty's Government, the Leader of the Opposition, Speakers and Deputy Speakers. Once you are appointed to one of these positions, you are a Privy Councillor for life.
The table below lists all members of the Privy Council since the start of the 21st Parliament. The roles listed are those which the member in question first held when they joined the Privy Council (or the first role they held since the start of the 21st Parliament), and the parties are those which they were a member of when taking up that role.
