Reshuffled Cabinet To Hold First Meeting |
|
David Cameron’s newly reshuffled cabinet is set to meet for the first time. The new line up will also appear beside the prime minister as he faces his first question-and-answer session in the Commons as MPs return from their summer break.
Tuesday’s reshuffle was the first large-scale restructuring of the government since the coalition took power in 2010.
Among the changes, Jeremy Hunt became health secretary and Chris Grayling was promoted to justice secretary.
Chief whip Patrick McLoughlin took over as transport secretary, and Ken Clarke went from justice secretary to a roaming role within government, focusing particularly on economic policy.
Liberal Democrat David Laws also returned to government as an education minister, more than two years after quitting over his parliamentary expenses.
Cameron will continue to finalise the appointment of junior ministers.
