5 January cabinet reshuffle
I have some issues with this entry. Firstly the statement "Norman St John-Stevas is replaced as Leader of the House of Commons by Francis Pym" is true, but I think misleading as a) Pym also succeeded him as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and b) it seems to suggest that Pym was new to the Cabinet when in fact he had been Secretary of State for Defence and his move was seen in some quarters as demotion. Also Pym took Maude's role as Paymaster General at the same time. The claim that "Angus Maude and Reg Prentice also both leave the Cabinet" is also concerning me, as I do not think Prentice ever held a Cabinet position in a Conservative government. He certainly not listed in the cabinet list in Thatcher's memoirs or in the First Thatcher ministry. He did have non-cabinet Ministerial position which he gave up at this time due to ill-health which I think is causing the confusion. I would therefore suggest changing this to something like "Cabinet re-shuffle: Norman St John-Stevas and Angus Maude leave the Cabinet while Leon Brittan and Norman Fowler join the Cabinet." However, I wonder what others think? Dunarc (talk) 23:47, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I have now made the change as I proposed above. Am happy to discuss this further if anyone has any objections. I suspect the Prentice confusion is because he had previously held cabinet office when he was a Labour MP. Dunarc (talk) 22:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
