Boris Johnson's new cabinet is meeting for the first time, following a reshuffle that saw Sajid Javid quit his role as chancellor.
The prime minister had offered to reappoint Mr Javid on the condition he fire his team of aides - a demand rejected by Mr Javid on Thursday.
Rishi Sunak, former chief secretary to the Treasury, said he had "lots to get on with" after replacing Mr Javid.
Andrea Leadsom and Esther McVey are among others no longer in government.
Both women, along with Mr Javid, had been among the contenders in the Conservative leadership contest last July that was won by Mr Johnson.
