Calvo-Sotelo's cabinet was composed mainly by members of the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) and a number of independents.[3][4] It was automatically dismissed on 29 October 1982 as a consequence of the 1982 general election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.[5][6][7][8]
The Council of Ministers was structured into the offices for the prime minister and 15 ministries.[12][13][14] From December 1981, the council would include two deputy prime ministers and a deputy ministry to the Prime Minister, without portfolio.[15][16] From July 1982, the council would only include one deputy prime minister and the abolition of the deputy ministry to the Prime Minister.
Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo's government was organised into several superior and governing units, whose number, powers and hierarchical structure varied depending on the ministerial department.[26][27]
