On Thursday, former Brexit Minister Steve Baker refused to return to a junior position within the department for the exit of the European Union.
The MP pro-leave said that he could not "repeat [his] experience of impotence "in the role.

Michael Gove was responsible for overall planning for a Brexit without agreement, including its potential implications for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
As Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, senior ministerial leader with no specific portfolio, he will chair a number of key committees and working groups.
Leaving his home to work Friday, Gove said Johnson had "got a unified government and a unified conservative party," adding, "The Prime Minister has made a fantastic start."
