Should this be given as 'Whig, later Tory' as is done for the Duke of Portland? It seems strange to refer to Pitt's Chief Secretary for Ireland and Addington's Home Secretary as a Whig. His DNB article http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/21799?docPos=7 states 'at the turn of the year [1793], when he was tentatively included in a list of Portland whigs, his political views had changed decisively' 'He parted regretfully but amicably from Fox on 20 January 1794 ... in the spring of 1794 ...he approved the formal junction of the Portland whigs with the government'
