Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen II

Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen retained his parliamentary support in the 2005 Danish parliamentary election, and was able to continue as head of his government. On 18 February 2005, he presented his updated cabinet, the Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen II.

There were few changes from the Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen I it replaced:

• Bertel Haarder changed from being Minister of Foreign Aid and Minister of Refugees, Immigration and Integration to being Church Minister and Minister of Education.
• The much-criticised Tove Fergo, who failed to get reelected to parliament (though that is not a requirement for a minister), stopped as Church Minister.
• Ulla Tørnæs switched from being Minister of Education to being Minister of Foreign Aid.
• Rikke Hvilshøj was appointed Minister of Refugees, Immigration and Integration.
• Lars Barfoed replaced Henriette Kjær as Minister of Family and Consumption, after there had been some criticism Henriette Kjær because her personal finances were in disorder.

Some periods in the table below start before 18 February 2005 because the minister was also in the Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen I.
