Deputy President of the Board of Trade

The office of Vice-president of the Board of Trade is a junior ministerial position in the government of the United Kingdom at the Board of Trade. The office was created in 1786 but fell into abeyance in 1867. From 1848 onwards, the office was held concurrently with that of Paymaster General. The office of vice-president itself was effectively succeeded by that of Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade but the role is extant.[1]

The Hon. Dudley Ryder, later 1st Earl of Harrowby, who served as vice-president of the Board of Trade from 1790 to 1801.

Notable holders of the office of vice-president include Lord Grenville, William Gladstone, Lord Goderich and the Earl Granville.

In 2020, there was an unusual appointment of a Deputy President of the Board of Trade to assist the President, but the holder remained only an adviser to the Board.[2] This appears to have been a one-off appointment, and this role no longer exists.[3]
