No - Cabinet Ministers are Members of Parliament that hold significant office within government. Examples of Cabinet Ministers in Britain are the Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer.

MPs (Members of Parliament) are elected, and can become members of the cabinet. However they are not necessarily cabinet ministers. MPs that hold no cabinet position are often referred to as "back-benchers", which refers to their position in the House of Commons (hence not on the Front Bench, of either the ruling party of the opposition).
