The former children’s minister Will Quince has returned to the Department for Education less than two days after he resigned.
However, it is not clear whether he is taking up the brief he held before. Quince has also been promoted to be a minister of state.
He was previously a parliamentary under-secretary of state, a more junior position, before resigning on Wednesday morning.
It comes after Boris Johnson resigned as Tory leader this afternoon, seemingly abating the concerns of some ministers who resigned or were reluctant to serve under him.
