  • John Major, Leader du Parti conservateur, a été Leader de l'opposition du 2 mai 1997, après sa défaite aux élections générales de 1997, jusqu'au 19 juin 1997, date à laquelle William Hague a été élu pour lui succéder. À la suite de la défaite, Major a annoncé sa démission de son poste de leader. Mais, pour des raisons logistiques, un nouveau leader n'a pu être élu avant plusieurs semaines. Entre-temps, , Major a nommé un cabinet fantôme intérimaire. Le cabinet fantôme était basé sur le cabinet final de Major. Cependant, comme sept ministres du Cabinet avaient perdu leur siège aux élections générales et un autre n'ayant pas contesté son siège, plusieurs sièges étaient restés vacants. Celles-ci ont été en grande partie remplies soit par le major lui-même, soit par un ministre compétent du cabinet sortant. Le poste de secrétaire d'État fantôme pour l'Écosse n'a pas été pourvu car les conservateurs avaient perdu tous leurs parlementaires écossais lors de l'élection. Michael Howard et William Hague se sont vu confier la responsabilité conjointe des questions constitutionnelles, y compris le mandat de gérer la législation écossaise sur la . (fr)

Following the defeat, Major announced his resignation as leader. But, for logistical reasons, a new leader could not be elected for several weeks. In the intervening period, Major appointed an interim Shadow Cabinet. The Shadow Cabinet was based on Major's final Cabinet. However, as seven Cabinet Ministers had lost their seats in the general election and another had not contested his seat, there were several vacancies. These were largely filled by either Major himself or by a relevant minister in the outgoing Cabinet. The position of Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland was not filled as the Conservatives had lost all their Scottish MPs in the election. Michael Howard and William Hague were given joint responsibility for constitutional matters, including the brief to handle the Scottish devolution legislation. (en)
