I removed "In addition, the Chancellor of the Exchequer still may not be a Catholic, although the Prime Minister may." Is there any real evidence for this, such as a UK government document in the last 100 years? --Henrygb 11:07, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Speaking of Catholic prime ministers...

Has there ever been one? I came to this article to find out the answer, and to see what the history of Catholic cabinet ministers was. If someone knows, I think it would be interesting. —JerryFriedman 03:33, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Good luck - I think it is a bit of a non-issue so people don't keep complete records. I am not aware of any Roman Catholic prime ministers, but George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon seems to have been a Roman Catholic cabinet minister and son of a prime minister. Note that Neville Chamberlain was an Unitarian prime minister, which did not pose a problem. --Henrygb 16:43, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
