First Secretary of State is an office that is sometimes held by a minister of the Crown in the Government of the United Kingdom. The office indicates seniority,[2] including over all other secretaries of state.[3] The office is not always in use, so there have sometimes been extended gaps between successive holders.
Dominic Raab most recently held the position between July 2019 and September 2021, making it vacant at the moment.
