Explanation
When the Muslim League joined the 1946 Interim Government, Liaquat Ali Khan was allotted the Finance portfolio. He is referred to repeatedly as the finance minister of the interim government and is recorded as presenting the interim budget (including proposed taxes and an inquiry commission) in March 1947, confirming his role in charge of finance [1]. Contemporary summaries and scholarly accounts of the 1946–47 Interim Government explicitly list Liaquat as the League’s Finance member for 1946–47, solidifying that he held the Finance ministry during that period [2].
