List of current members of the British Privy Council


This is a list of the current members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, along with the roles they fulfil and the date when they were sworn of the council. Throughout this article, the prefix The Rt Hon. is omitted, because every counsellor bears it, as is the postnominal PC, as every counsellor who is also a peer uses it.
The council is composed mostly of politicians and civil servants, both current and retired. Among those politicians generally sworn of the council are ministers of the Crown, the few most senior figures of the Loyal Opposition, the parliamentary leader of the third-largest party, and a couple of the most senior figures in the devolved British governments, including the first ministers. Besides these, the council includes a very few members of the Royal Family, a few dozen judges and a few clergy.
