Theresa May is continuing her government reshuffle, moving around junior and middle-ranking ministers, following changes to the cabinet. More women and ethnic minority MPs are expected to be promoted.
The prime minister suffered a setback on Monday when Justine Greening resigned instead of being moved from the role of education secretary to that of work and pensions secretary. Mrs May was reportedly "disappointed" by the decision.
Ms Greening is replaced in the education role by Damian Hinds, while Esther McVey takes over work and pensions. The other major changes are that Brandon Lewis becomes Conservative Party chairman, Matt Hancock becomes culture secretary and Karen Bradley is made Northern Ireland secretary. Here's a summary of the reshuffle so far. And a list of cabinet ministers.
