British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to reshuffle his Cabinet and announce changes to government departments.
This comes after Nadhim Zahawi's dismissal as Conservative Party chair over his tax affairs.
The reshuffle is expected to be relatively limited, following Sunak's appointment of Grant Shapps as the new energy and net-zero secretary as he breaks up the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Sunak is believed to be planning a new science and digital department, with responsibilities removed from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport.
Reports suggest that the reshuffle will have little impact beyond the initial changes in senior roles.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is reportedly planning a relatively limited reshuffle of his Cabinet on Tuesday following Nadhim Zahawi's dismissal as Conservative Party chair over his tax affairs.
The shake-up is also thought to include a new science and digital department, prompting reports of cabinet ministers not being pre-warned.
However, there is no confirmation from Number 10.
The new appointments are expected to be announced at the morning cabinet meeting, which has been pushed back to 10: 30 GMT.
Greg Hands is widely expected to replace Zahawi as Tory Party chair, with Grant Shapps taking over as the new energy and net-zero secretary.
Reuters reported that Sunak is planning to merge the business arm of BEIS with the trade department while creating a new science and digital unit by bringing together the science and innovation part of BEIS with the digital arm of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
The Guardian also reported that Sunak is trying to reassert his grip on his divided party.
The Independent added that the reshuffle, which could be in part an effort to close the polling gap between the Conservatives and Labour, could be "relatively limited" and have a "domino" effect on moving existing ministers into new positions.
The newspaper reported that no denial has been issued by Sunak's press team about a department shake-up.
