Cameron completes team reshuffle

CAMERON RESHUFFLE In full: Tory front bench

Tory leader David Cameron has finalised his new frontbench team, promoting some of the newest Conservative MPs from the 2005 intake.

Among them is the youngest female Tory MP Justine Greening, 38, and the first black Tory MP Adam Afriyie, 41.

Ms Greening will be a shadow Treasury spokeswoman while Mr Afriyie shadows innovation, universities and skills.

It follows a shadow cabinet reshuffle earlier this week, which also saw more female and younger MPs brought in.

Mr Cameron said at the time that he wanted to "harness new talent" to prepare for the next general election.

Also among those promoted to become frontbench spokesmen were several 30-something MPs elected for the first time in 2005.

These include David Burrowes on Justice, Ben Wallace on Scotland, and Jeremy Wright, 34, who will join the Tory Whips' office.

Other new spokesmen include Mike Penning on Health, another of the 2005 intake, and James Clappison, elected in 1992, on Children and Schools.

Richard Benyon, Nick Hurd, Brooks Newmark and Stewart Jackson will also go to the Whips' office.

Higher education spokesman Boris Johnson, who it emerged is being considered as a possible candidate for Mayor of London, remains in post.
