Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to announce a new secretary
Mr Wallace announced last month that he would resign from the senior Cabinet role at the next reshuffle. He has served under three prime ministers in the position and played a key role in the UK’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and was a close ally of Boris Johnson.
Rishi Sunak praised Mr Wallace, telling him he leaves office with the Prime Minister’s “thanks and respect”. Now Mr Sunak is expected to announce a new defence secretary. Dr Fox, who served in the role under then prime minister David Cameron between 2010 and 2011, was forced to resign after allowing his friend and best man, Adam Werritty, to take on an unofficial and undeclared role as his adviser. The senior Tory MP backed Mr Sunak in last summer’s Conservative leadership race.
“The dedication and skill with which you have discharged your responsibilities as Secretary of State for Defence has been typical of your belief in public service and deep commitment to the armed forces and security of the UK. You leave the Ministry of Defence and the Armed forces well placed to face the future.”
