Jeremy Hunt was appointed chancellor hours after Kwasi Kwarteng's sacking
Mr Hunt's appointment was announced by Downing Street on Friday just hours after it was confirmed that Liz Truss had sacked Mr Kwarteng. He had been in the role for only 38 days.
The choice of Mr Hunt, a prominent backer of her rival Rishi Sunak in the Tory leadership contest, will be seen as an attempt to restore stability after weeks of turmoil in the wake of Mr Kwarteng’s mini-budget. Mr Hunt began his career in politics when he was elected Conservative MP for South West Surrey in 2005.The 55-year-old, who was educated at Oxford University, was first appointed Secretary of State for Health in September 2012.
