(Reuters) – Deputy Finance Minister Rishi Sunak is being tipped by senior members of Britain’s Conservative Party to run a new ‘economic super-ministry’ following a cabinet reshuffle in February, the Financial Times newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Sunak, the Conservatives’ Chief Secretary to the Treasury, is in line for promotion to a full cabinet portfolio in the reshuffle, according to the report on.ft.com/2ZnDxRQ.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to create an enlarged business ministry which would absorb the international trade department, the report added.
