He has now been replaced by the former Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Rishi Sunak .

Now, the SNP call on the Liaison Committee , view of The Change say it amounts to a fundamental reshuffling of how the government works and functions.

committees have to summon The Power to the Witnesses , although it would be very unusual for the Prime Minister , the chief adviser is to appear so in public, and The Committee has not met since the election. Frankly, it is unlikely that Dominic Cummings is displayed. to do

But The Call for him, is illustrative of the fact that in Westminster concerned about the impact of Mr Johnson's advisers, and the Changes they are involved in the monitoring.

In his letter, Mr Blackford said: "It is important that the key officials appointed by the Prime Minister is responsible, are required to provide evidence of these Changes in full, in detail and in public.

"I hope that the parliamentary Liaison Committee is favorable, this as a matter of public interest and Transparency . "
