Goderich Ministry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viscount Goderich's government came to power in September 1827 following the death of Canning. It was a tenuous coalition of moderate Tories - also known as the Canningites and Whigs, but it only lasted a few months and did not even meet Parliament.
