Gavin Freeguard, Adam Boon and Leah Owen summarise Theresa May’s first government appointments.
We’ve been live-blogging the formation of Theresa May’s new government in charts (and with nuggets of insight from our Ministers Reflect project and from across the Institute). The Government published a full list of government ministers on Monday night, which included a few moves that hadn’t previously been announced. We’ve now updated our charts accordingly. So here’s a final summary… This is Theresa May’s Cabinet.
- BIS absorbed DECC to become the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and lost responsibility for further and higher education, skills and apprenticeships to DfE
- BIS lost trade to a new Department for International Trade
- a new Department for Exiting the European Union was created.
The Government finally gave some further details on the changes in a ministerial statement from the PM late on Monday (Jill Rutter looked more closely at that yesterday). But there are still questions about other changes – e.g. civil society apparently moving from the Cabinet Office to DCMS.
