The Argyle Ministry was the 48th ministry of the Government of Victoria. It was led by the Premier of Victoria, Stanley Argyle, and consisted of members of the United Australia Party (UAP) and the Country Party. The ministry was sworn in on 19 May 1932.[1] On the 20th of March 1935, following the 1935 election, the Country party withdrew from the Coalition. Argyle then formed a new ministry of UAP members. The ministry was dissolved as a result of Argyle's resignation following defeat in the Legislative Assembly.
