John Swinney Cabinet: Here is the Cabinet in full, from economy, finance to Gaelic and education, as new First Minister unveils reshuffle

And he has now unveiled his Cabinet, which bar some small changes – and one very noticeable entrant in the role of Deputy First Minister – looks remarkably similar to the one that had been most recently formed by Mr Swinney’s predecessor Humza Yousaf.

Former finance secretary Kate Forbes is now Mr Swinney’s deputy – and has two important briefs attached to her name in economy and a newly created Gaelic portfolio.

Here is the full make-up of Mr Swinney’s new Cabinet.
