He said: "I was not shocked as these things happen and it looks like the Prime Minister is wanting to bring in some younger people.

"I have had a good run and I am very proud to have been the first Scarborough MP since the First World War to have served as a minister in Government.

"The Prime Minister called me in this morning and complimented me on the job I had done and she has my full support going forward.

"Not just with regard to Brexit but also to her [legislative] programme."
