Nicky Morgan stays on as education secretary

Policy & Politics
Nicky Morgan has retained her position as education secretary in David Cameron’s new cabinet.

Announcing appointments on Twitter, Mr Cameron said that Ms Morgan would be ‘continuing our programme of reform’.

Ms Morgan tweeted, ‘Delighted to continue as Secretary of State for Education & Minister for Women & Equalities - lots more to do in both roles.’

Other ministerial appointments, including the early years brief, within the Department for Education have not yet been made.

The Prime Minister is overseeing the reshuffle of his new cabinet today, following announcements of some leading roles over the weekend that saw several ministers retain jobs they held under the Coalition Government.

These include George Osborne as Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has also been made first Secretary of State – the highest-ranking Cabinet minister after the PM.
