UK PRESS: Secretary of State for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy

(BEIS) Andrea Leadsom has arrived at the Commons, indicating she may be in line

to lose her ministerial position.

- Leadsom came into Cabinet after PM Johnson took office as a Brexit supporter,

but was seen as a left-field pick for the BEIS position. 

- Reading West MP and Sec of State for International Development Alok Sharma

seen as the most likely replacement.

- BEIS likely to prove an increasingly important department over coming years

given the emphasis PM Johnson's gov't are placing on major infrastructure

projects and making the UK an attractive destination for investment post-Brexit.
