Here's a page that's not afraid to give numbers and name names! If you want to find out "who's who" (or who was who) in the British government in a particular year, this is the page for you. Here we offer lists of officials, ministers, MPs, etc., along with lists of government officials, administrations (both British and international) and sovereigns of the world. This section also includes a variety of "roundup" articles on British politicians, including Henry Lucy's marvelous series of caricatures, "Behind the Speaker's Chair." Articles on specific individuals in the Victorian British government can be found in the People section.
