Notes[]

  1. ^ Nationalencyklopedin article about Ingves doesn't mention any nationality which per default means that the individual in question is Swedish. Also according to the Instrument of Government 1974, Chapter 11: Administration of justice and general administration Archived 15 June 2010 at the Wayback Machine, Article 9, Paragraph 3 only a Swedish citizen can serve as the head of an agency under the Riksdag. This requirement has been removed from the Constitution from 1 January 2011, and is instead supposed to be regulated in an ordinary law.
