Footnotes
- ↑ August Carew-Grey unofficially served as Foreign Secretary during the tenure of his own Premiership, spanning until the 9 November 2024. However, he was never appointed as such in the appropiate Order-in-Council and as a result, no Foreign Secretary is officially listed for the Calder Premiership.
