David Cameron has appointed Boris Johnson's brother Jo as his head of a new Conservative parliamentary policy advisory board in a re-organisation of the party's political operation. Mr Johnson was elected as MP for Orpington, in Kent, in 2010.
Stanley Johnson, the father of London Mayor Boris, told ITV News he was "absolutely thrilled" that his son Jo has been added to David Cameron's team in Downing Street.
He said: "I'm absolutely thrilled at this wonderful appointment David Cameron has made, there is no doubting Jo's intelligence.
"He is delighted and I'm confident the Tories will get their act together in a big way.
"I wish my father had been alive to see this and I'll keep lobbying him to make sure the Tories stay green."
Boris and Jo Johnson share the family's trademark ultra competitiveness, but in many ways they are very different people.
Jo Johnson will head up the Policy Unit inside Downing Street in a shake-up to inject fresh Tory thinking into Government.
