Carteret ministry
The Carteret ministry was the British ministry that was in office between 1742 and 1744 following the defeat of Sir Robert Walpole's ministry by a margin of 1 vote.[1] The head of the ministry was Spencer Compton, Earl of Wilmington, until his death in 1743. He was succeeded in the role of prime minister by Henry Pelham.
The ministry derived its name from John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville. He was the secretary of state and somebody upon whom the respective prime ministers were dependent for support.
