Ms Truss has also notably been in favour of fracking when there is local community consent, but Mr Hunt has been loudly against the government's decision to allow drilling in rural Surrey in his constituency, writing to Michael Gove earlier this year urging him to reconsider. Does this make him a part of the anti-growth coalition?
Moreover, it still remains to be seen whether the government will restore its aid budget to 0.7% of GDP - it is currently at 0.5%.
