    Gavin Williamson will have to deliver an increase in spending on England's schools after replacing Damian Hinds as the new education secretary.

    Mr Williamson was sacked from his previous post as defence secretary at the start of May after an inquiry into a National Security Council leak.

    Boris Johnson made the spending pledge on his first day in office as the new prime minister.
