UK- PM makes new appointments


(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM)) David Cameron has made Michael Gove the Justice Secretary and Chris Grayling Leader of the Commons in his new Conservative government. Nicky Morgan will remain as Education Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities.

The PM, who secured the first Conservative majority since 1992, has already said his Chancellor, Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary will stay the same.

Former Immigration Minister, Mark Harper, has become the new Chief Whip, according to the BBC.

Mr. Harper resigned from the government in February 2014 after he discovered that his cleaner was no longer entitled to work in the UK, but rejoined the government five months later as Minister for Disabled People.

The Conservatives won a total of 331 seats at the general election, with Labour leader Ed Miliband, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg and UKIP leader Nigel Farage all resigning after suffering losses.
