- British prime minister David Cameron conducted the first major reshuffle of his coalition government on 4 September 2012. The reshuffle, nearly two and a half years after the government was sworn in, was highly anticipated, and eschewed the trend of annual reshuffles which had become common under the governments of the 1990s and 2000s. As a result, many ministers had been in place not just since the government was elected in 2010, but had covered the portfolio in Cameron's shadow cabinet or even earlier; Andrew Lansley had covered the health brief since 2004, when Michael Howard led the Conservatives in opposition. Despite this, Cameron's room to manoeuvre was limited by his coalition agreement with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats, which guaranteed the minority party seats in government, and Clegg the right to select his ministers. Further, Cameron's personal aversion to reshuffles and belief that ministers were most effective when given time at a department led to him viewing many cabinet members, including the holders of the Great Offices of State, as immovable. The reshuffle, which was criticised by the opposition for resulting in a cabinet with only four female members out of twenty-two, ultimately shifted Cameron's government significantly to the right on business, justice, and the environment, and rid the government of perceived weaknesses, while maintaining stability at the top. In an official statement, Number 10 stated that the impetus for the reshuffle was the fact that after more than two years, the government was "at the delivery phase" and that ministers had "been appointed with that in mind".

- 英國首相戴维·卡梅伦在2012年9月14日改組聯合內閣，是上任近兩年半後首次。由於甘民樂未有如1990年代和2000年代時的政府般定期改組，因此外界高度關注是次人事變動。他的閣僚大多在2010年上任前的上任，部分更已在任數載，如凌士禮自04年起負責衛生事務，迈克尔·霍华德更曾領導。惟礙於，甘民樂只可改組隸屬己黨的職位，其餘自民黨出任的職位不在其控制範圍。而且甘民樂私底下亦對改組內閣反感，認為改組內閣令大臣要熟習新環境，繼而減低工作效率，因此定不可換人。 在野黨批評，內閣改組後男女不均，全員只有不足兩成是女性。新政府將重心放在商務、司法和環境事務，根除外界認定的施政弱點，同時視保持穩定為首要任務。首相府在聲明中表示，政府上任兩年「已屆交付階段」，驅使政府改組內閣。 (zh)
