David Cameron has been working out his first all-Conservative cabinet after winning the polls in Thursday's election.
The Prime Minister has already re-appointed four senior cabinet ministers, including Chancellor George Osborne as first secretary of state, who will also act as Cameron's de facto deputy in the added role of first secretary of state, the BBC reported.
The honorific post was previously held by William Hague.
Meanwhile, Theresa May, Philip Hammond and Michael Fallon will maintain their positions at the Home Office, Foreign Office and Defence. Other announcements will be made on 11th May.
Cameron, who won its first majority since 1992 with 331 seats, said that he would "stay true to my word and implement as fast as I can the devolution that all parties agreed for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland"
"Together we can make Great Britain greater still," he added.
