Denotes whether an agency head has served as a minister (statsråd). The ministers are the leaders of the various departments at the Government Offices. Note, however, that the Swedish constitution grants all administrative agencies formal independence from the government. Consequently, although the ministers are the formal leaders of the departments that the agencies sort under, they are not the formal leaders of the agencies.
