Short-lived ministry
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Multiple image".
The Bath–Granville ministry,[1] better known as the "short-lived" ministry, was a ministry of Patriot Whigs that existed briefly in February 1746.
On 10 February, with the resignation of Henry Pelham and the Cobhamites, William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath, undertook the formation of a ministry with John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville, the former Northern Secretary. However, it only lasted two days, collapsing on 12 February (even before all the ministers could be appointed), and Pelham was reappointed by George II to resume the Broad Bottom ministry on 14 February.Template:Sfn
