List of departures from the second May ministry

After forming a Conservative minority government on 11 June 2017, Theresa May faced a significant number of front bench resignations.

She experienced 60 ministerial departures with 42 of these being resignations due to disunity regarding Brexit discord.

Lastly, Theresa May herself resigned on 24 July 2019, with Boris Johnson being appointed Prime Minister by Queen Elizabeth II shortly after.

For example, in March 2019 fifteen posts had been left vacant due to resignations and a lack of MPs willing to fill positions.

Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Amber Rudd had to take on Sarah Newton's responsibilities as Minister of State for Disabled People as the position was left unfilled two weeks after her resignation.
