Robert Jenrick and Steve Baker return to frontbench as ministers of state

Jenrick appointed to Department of Health and Social care while Baker goes to Northern Ireland Office

Robert Jenrick, who left government under a cloud after he intervened to grant planning permission to a Conservative donor, has made a return to the frontbench - as has Steve Baker, the Brexit hardliner and former leading backbench rebel.

It came as Liz Truss reached out to some Rishi Sunak supporters in a series of junior ministerial appointments, a day after she appointed a cabinet made up almost entirely of allies and backers in the just-ended leadership race.
