This change of title occurred after the Liberal Democrats formed a Coalition Government with Labour in the Welsh Assembly in October 2000. The change of title has no effect in law - as the post of First Secretary is established in statute law under the 1998 Government of Wales Act.

The Government Of Wales Bill , which is currently going through the Parliament Of The United Kingdom , allows for the post to be officially the First Minister and would also make the First Minister the Keeper of the Welsh Seal.
