Shapps tweeted he was delighted to be reappointed during prime minister Boris Johnson’s far-reaching cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday (15 September) which saw foreign secretary Dominic Raab relieved of his role.
He will be replaced by Liz Truss, with Raab taking up the post of justice secretary. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and home secretary Priti Patel, meanwhile, have also retained their roles.
There is no word yet on the future for tourism minister Nigel Huddleston, although if he retains his brief, he will serve under new culture minister Nadine Dorries, who replaces Oliver Dowden.
