The ascension of Mr Hunt, who backed Prime Minister Liz Truss's rival Rishi Sunak in the Tory leadership race, is considered an attempt to restore stability after weeks of rough seas in the wake of the government's mini-budget
He is a more centrist figure than either Mr Kwarteng or Ms Truss and is unlikely to share their ideological free market commitment to tax cuts.
"No Conservative should promise unfunded tax cuts.

He was criticised for allowing the UK to sell arms to Saudi Arabia during its controversial military campaign in Yemen.
