Lewes MP Norman Baker moves to Home Office in cabinet reshuffle

The Lewes MP, who until today has served as transport minister, has replaced fellow Liberal Democrat Jeremy Browne as Minister of State.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg wielded the knife as David Cameron moved to promote more women and northern MPs to his Conservative team.
