Composition of ministry

First arrangement
The first arrangement covered the period from 1 December 1997 until 30 April 1998 when Brian Langton relinquished his ministerial duties due to his involvement in a political scandal, after the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) found him guilty of corruptly rorting charter plane expenses. The ICAC deemed that Langton had sought advantage for himself by deliberate deception of the Parliamentary Accounts Department.[3][4] Carr made a minor reconfiguration of the ministry.
