Which is correct?

[Daphne – The former, Minister of Foreign Affairs. You can truncate it to Foreign Minister, too. That’s the British way.]

“The villa, rented for an entire year by Tyre Ltd on 14 July 2012 through the professional office of his daughter, hosted the philanthropists, among them Mary Swann, a millionaire residing in Sliema, Malta.”
