Louise Haigh to be appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster AND first secretary of state. • • It's the right hand man/woman position previously held by figures like George Osborne, William Hague, and John Prescott.

EXC: Andy Burnham's team has “pretty much locked in” senior Cabinet picks • • - Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is now expected to become Chancellor of the Exchequer • • - Opponents of Ed Miliband campaigned to stop his appointment as Chancellor.

How did this market resolve?

To qualify, the individual must be appointed or reappointed to a cabinet position by the United Kingdom Monarch in the period between the official appointment of Andy Burnham as Prime Minister of the UK and the seventh day thereafter, 11:59 PM UTC. If the individual will continue to serve in a preexisting cabinet position without an explicit reappointment, their continuance in the Burnham cabinet must be confirmed by an official announcement or a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the specified timeframe to qualify.
Any interim or caretaker cabinet position will not count toward the resolution of this market.
