Proposed merge of Minister for Work and Pensions (United Kingdom) with Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Lords)[edit]
Are these the same ministerial post? JW 1961 Talk 20:45, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Support @Joseywales1961: Yes, ministerial positions are not specifically 'Lords' or 'Commons' assigned but the PM, through the Royal Prerogative power of patronage can appoint any member of either house to a ministerial position. The only time a distinction should be made is for Government Spokesperson for x Department in the House of Lords which isn't the case here. PoliceSheep99 (talk) 13:39, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
