Nicky Morgan reappointed as Education Secretary
Morgan extended her majority in the Loughborough constituency from just over 3,000 votes to more than 9,000.
The former solicitor took over from Michael Gove at the Department for Education back in July, and her peformance over the last 10 months has led to her being backed once again by Mr Cameron.
A new education bill is also expected early in this Parliament. Meanwhile, Morgan's predecessor Michael Gove has been appointed as Justice Secretary, with a brief to oversee planned changes to the Human Rights Act.
