Prior to the Schoof cabinet, the position was usually held by a state secretary of the Ministry of Justice, rather than a minister – except between 2002 and 2006, and between 2010 and 2012. In later years, this state secretary was allowed to use the title 'minister for migration' in diplomatic contexts ('for' denoting that the officeholder does not head a ministry).
