New Prime Minister Gordon Brown makes radical changes to the British Cabinet

Cabinet Ministers were coming....and going, in a major revamp of the British Cabinet today (Thursday) as new Prime Minister Gordon Brown settled in and took firm hold of governmental reins.

Among the changes was one which is of interest to the gambling industry as a whole, that of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) where controversial Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has been replaced by the Stalybridge and Hyde MP James Purnell.

Purnell previously served at the DCMS as minister for licensing.
