David Cameron today completed his cabinet reshuffle following last week's UK general election, which resulted in a Conservative-majority government.

While high-profile figures such as George Osborne and Theresa May retained their portfolios, they are joined by a number of new faces, including Sajid Javid, who enters the cabinet as business secretary.

The top members of the government are granted full membership status of cabinet, as opposed to those who merely attend cabinet meetings, such as the chief whip.

The list of full cabinet members is as follows:
