Work and Pensions Minister Amber Rudd remains in post

Wednesday 24 July – Boris Johnson’s taking the reigns as Britain’s latest Prime Minister heralded a new era for British politics. His first job, to appoint his Cabinet colleagues saw the biggest ministerial shake up in living history.

Whilst Mr Johnson’s appointments will see a number of Government Departments with a new ministerial lead, The Department of Work and Pensions is one of the few where the status quo remains, with Amber Rudd remaining as Minister for Work and Pensions.

In a time of uncertainty, with Brexit still unresolved and Mr Johnson announcing his plans for sweeping changes, the fact that pensions appear to remain stable is welcome news.
