In a letter to Williamson, Prime Minister Theresa May said she “can no longer have full confidence” in Williamson in the wake of the investigation. Penny Mordaunt, the international development secretary, has been appointed as Williamson’s replacement. She becomes the first woman to hold the post. The security council includes senior ministers, who receive briefings from top military and intelligence officials, and its meetings are considered highly sensitive.
