Housing Secretary Michael Gove has announced he is standing down at this general election.
After nearly 20 years as the Conservative MP for Surrey Heath, and serving in multiple cabinets over the course of the last 14 years, Mr Gove has said "a new generation should lead".
In a letter to his constituency chairman, the veteran cabinet minister said being an MP and minister has been a "profound privilege"
"As a child in Aberdeen I could never have imagined I would have the opportunity to sit in the Commons, let along the cabinet table," he wrote.
