Whig government, 1830–1834
The Whig government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland that began in November 1830 and ended in November 1834 consisted of two ministries: the Grey ministry and then the first Melbourne ministry.
Lord Grey led the Government from 1830 to 1834. He was succeeded by Lord Melbourne upon his resignation.
Melbourne led the Government following the resignation of his predecessor in July 1834. He was dismissed in November.
The Conservative government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland that began in 1828 and ended in 1830 was led by the Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords and Robert Peel in the House of Commons.

During his first seven months as prime minister, the Duke chose not to live in the official residence at 10 Downing Street, finding it too small. He moved in only because his own home, Apsley House, required extensive renovations
