Ex-chancellor to oversee Jackson review next steps
Ken Clarke is to take over as justice secretary and Lord Chancellor as part of David Cameron’s new government.
Clarke, who served as Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer under John Major in the early 1990s, will be responsible for taking forward the implementation of the Jackson review of compensation.
Clarke had the business portfolio in David Cameron's shadow cabinet, but that job is understood to have gone to Vince Cable as part of the coaltion agreement between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
