Sajid Javid praises predecessor Matt Hancock

New Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said he's honoured to be appointed, after the resignation of Matt Hancock.

Mr Hancock stood down on Saturday for breaching Covid rules by kissing a colleague.

Mr Javid, who has had several key government roles, said his predecessor had worked "incredibly hard" and he was sure Mr Hancock would "have more to offer in public life."
