British Prime Minister Theresa May has been unveiling more junior ministerial appointments as she continues to shape her administration.
Anna Soubry, business minister and prominent Remain campaigner, pensions minister Baroness Altmann and justice minister Dominic Raab have left the government, No 10 said.
Penny Mordaunt and Mike Penning become ministers at the Department for Work and Pensions and Ministry of Defence.
Sir Oliver Heald is promoted to become a minister in the Ministry of Justice.
Baroness Altmann, who also resigned, was made a peer and appointed minister for pensions by David Cameron in 2015 after a carving a career out of fighting for older people’s rights.
In her resignation letter to Mrs May, Baroness Altmann said that her efforts to improve pensions policy over the past year had been thwarted by “short-term political considerations.”
