After a series of setbacks for the Coalition over the last year, beginning with the Chancellor’s botched budget in March, David Cameron used the return of the House of Commons from the summer recess to announce a significant shakeup of his Government.
Although the reshuffle saw no shift in the ‘Great Offices of State,’ with George Osborne, Theresa May and William Hague all remaining in post, there were wide ranging changes across the rest of the Cabinet and at the junior ministerial level.
The changes to the Government included promotions for a number of high profile figures on the Right of the Party, while a number of rising stars from the new intake of Conservative MPs joined the Government as junior ministers.
In response to these significant changes to the composition of the UK Government, Edelman’s Public Affairs team has prepared a guide to David Cameron’s new look ministerial team.
