Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood, who was honoured for his efforts to save Pc Keith Palmer after the Westminster terror attack, is to take up a post in the Ministry of Defence.
The Conservative MP for Bournemouth East went to the aid of Pc Palmer, who was fatally stabbed by Khalid Masood on March 22.
Mr Ellwood tweeted: "Delighted and honoured to be appointed as minister in the Ministry of Defence. Thanks for all the support I received during my 3 yrs at FCO."
His appointment was announced as Theresa May made a series of ministerial appointments as part of a limited reshuffle following the General Election.
Tory peer Lord Bridges of Headley, who was parliamentary under secretary in the Department for Exiting the European Union, has left his post.
Among those ministers continuing in their roles is Tory MP Tracey Crouch (Chatham and Aylesford) who was reappointed as parliamentary under secretary of state for sport, tourism and heritage while apparently watching the England v France friendly in Paris, which was attended by the Prime Minister and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Ms Crouch tweeted: "Missed @HKane goal. Ironically was on phone being reappointed @DCMS Sport, Tourism & Heritage minister. Obviously delighted (about goal too)."
