Second Portland ministry

Add article description

This is a list of members of the Tory government of the United Kingdom in office under the leadership of the Duke of Portland from 1807 to 1809.

The Duke of Portland was the figurehead of the government, but exercised comparatively little power over his colleagues.
Spencer Perceval served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and succeeded Portland in 1809. He was subsequently assassinated in 1812, the only British Prime Minister to be killed in office.

Members of the Cabinet are in bold face.
