Gunnar Knudsen's First Government

Gunnar Knudsen’s First Government was appointed by King Haakon VII in a session of the Council of State on 18 March 1908, effective as of 19 March 1908 at 10.30 a.m. It succeded Jørgen Løvland’s Government, which had received a vote of no confidence in the Storting.

In a session of the Council of State on 27 January 1910, Gunnar Knudsen's First Government handed in its resignation, as general elections 2 October-20 November 1909 had not rendered sufficient support for the Government in the Storting. Permission to leave was granted by King Haakon VII in a session of the Council of State on 1 February 1910, effective as of 2 February 1910 at 11 a.m. At the same time, Wollert Konow's (S.B.) Government was appointed, effective as of the same point of time.
