Transport Secretary Philip Hammond became defense secretary Friday as Liam Fox's resignation triggered the first shakeup in the current British government.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who was in his constituency in Oxfordshire, made the changes on the telephone, The Guardian reported. Justine Greening, who has been economic secretary to the Treasury since the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition took power in May 2010, was moved into the transport job, upi.com reported.
