History: In October 1959 a small Office of the Minister for Science was established to support the new post of Minister for Science which had been created under the Minister for Science Order 1959 which transferred all the powers of the Prime Minister and the Lord President of the Council in respect of atomic energy, radioactive substances and various research organisations. In effect the Office superseded the Office of the Lord President of the Council. On 1 April 1964 the office of Minister for Science was abolished and all functions of the minister were vested in a new Secretary of State for Education and Science.
