  • Wales

Wales' First Minister has appointed the new Welsh Government Cabinet.

The line-up includes:

  • Ken Skates - formerly deputy minister for Culture - becomes Economy and Infrastructure secretary.

  • Vaughan Gething - previously deputy health minister - is appointed secretary for health, wellbeing and sport.

  • Mark Drakeford - who was health minister - is now secretary for Finance.

  • Lesley Griffiths becomes Environment and Rural Affairs secretary.

  • Carl Sargeant - formerly Natural Resources minister - is now secretary for Communities and Children.

  • Jane Hutt - who was minister for Business and Finance - is now Leader of the House and Chief Whip.

  • Julie James is now minister for Skills and Science after her previous role as deputy minister for Skills and Technology.

  • Alun Davies is appointed minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language.

  • Rebecca Evans - who was deputy minister for Farming - is now minister for Social Services and Public Health.

But a surprise appointment has seen Kirsty Williams - the only Liberal Democrat in the cabinet - appointed Education secretary.
