Rishi Sunak has promoted cabinet veteran Grant Shapps to the role of defence secretary in a mini reshuffle of his top team.
Mr Shapps, who has held five ministerial jobs in the past year, replaces Ben Wallace, who is leaving politics at the next election.
His appointment was not widely expected but he is seen as safe pair of hands and an effective communicator.
Sunak ally Claire Coutinho replaces him as energy secretary.
