From 1754 to 1756, [[the Duke of Newcastle]] headed the government of [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]]. After the death of the previous prime minister, his brother [[Henry Pelham]], Newcastle had formed a freshnew administration of [[Whigs (British political party)|Whigs]]. He remained in power until 1756, when his government collapsed following the [[Siege of Fort St Philip (1756)|fall of Minorca]] and the fierce criticism that he had come under for his handling of the [[Seven Years' War]] that was engulfing Europe.
 
Among the most influential members of the '''first Newcastle ministry''' was [[Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland|Henry Fox]], who served as [[Leader of the House of Commons]] from November 1755, having initially entered the Cabinet in his earlier position of [[Secretary at War]] in December 1754.
