At the Restoration [in 1660] the practice of appointing two Secretaries of State, which was well established before the Civil War, was resumed. Apart from the modifications which were made necessary by the occasional existence of a third secretaryship, the organisation of the secretariat underwent no fundamental change from that time until the reforms of 1782 which resulted in the emergence of the Home and Foreign departments. ... English domestic affairs remained the responsibility of both Secretaries throughout the period. In the field of foreign affairs there was a division into a Northern and a Southern Department, each of which was the responsibility of one Secretary. The distinction between the two departments emerged only gradually. It was not until after 1689 that their names passed into general currency. Nevertheless the division of foreign business itself can, in its broad outlines, be detected in the early years of the reign of Charles II.

The secretary of state for foreign, Commonwealth and development affairs , also referred to as the foreign secretary , is a secretary of state in the Government of the United Kingdom , with overall responsibility for the work of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office . [1] Seen as one of the most senior ministers in the government and a Great Office of State , the incumbent is a member of the Cabinet of the United Kingdom , fourth in the ministerial ranking . [2]

The current foreign secretary is James Cleverly MP, appointed in the September 2022 cabinet reshuffle .

Corresponding to what is generally known as a foreign minister in many other countries, the foreign secretary's remit includes:

The official residence of the foreign secretary is 1 Carlton Gardens , in London . [7] The foreign secretary also has the use of Chevening House , a country house in Kent , South East England [8] and works out of the Foreign Office in Whitehall . [9]

The title secretary of state in the government of England dates back to the early 17th century. The position of secretary of state for foreign affairs was created in the British governmental reorganisation of 1782 , in which the Northern and Southern Departments became the Foreign Office and Home Office respectively. [10] The India Office which, like the Colonial Office and the Dominions Office , had been a constituent predecessor department of the Foreign Office, was closed down in 1947. [11]

Eventually, the position of secretary of state for foreign and Commonwealth affairs came into existence in 1968 with the merger of the functions of secretary of the state for foreign affairs and the secretary of state for Commonwealth affairs into a single department of state . Margaret Beckett , appointed in 2006 by Tony Blair , was the first woman to have held the post. [12]

The post of secretary of state for foreign, Commonwealth and development affairs was created in 2020 when position holder Dominic Raab absorbed the responsibilities of the secretary of state for international development . [13]

Post created through the merger of the Foreign Office and the Commonwealth Office .

On January 10, 1780, the Confederation Congress created the Department of Foreign Affairs. [1]

On August 10, 1781, Congress selected Robert R. Livingston , a delegate from New York , as the first Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Livingston was unable to take office until October 20, 1781. He served until June 4, 1783, and was succeeded by John Jay on December 21, 1784, who served until March 4, 1789, when the government under the Articles of Confederation gave way to the government under the Constitution .

The office of Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Foreign Affairs were reinstated by a law signed by George Washington on July 27, 1789. John Jay retained the post on an interim basis, pending the return of Thomas Jefferson from France.

On September 15, 1789, before Jefferson could return to take the post, Washington signed into law another act which changed the name of the office from Secretary of Foreign Affairs to Secretary of State , changed the name of the department to the Department of State , and added several domestic powers and responsibilities to both the office of secretary and the department. Thomas Jefferson took office as the first Secretary of State on March 22, 1790.

This is a list of United States secretaries of state by time in office. This is based on the difference between dates; if counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater. Cordell Hull is the only person to have served as Secretary of State for more than eight years. Daniel Webster and James G. Blaine are the only secretaries of state to have ever served non-consecutive terms. Warren Christopher served very briefly as Acting Secretary of State non-consecutively with his later tenure as full-fledged Secretary of State. Elihu B. Washburne served as Secretary of State for less than two weeks before becoming Ambassador to France .
