Following close on the resignations of key officials at DECC, the Prime Minister's climate change adviser Ben Moxham has decided to call it a day too.
Ben Moxham, senior policy adviser on energy and the environment at Number 10, has become the latest in a line of key energy experts to leave government.
Moxham is understood to have become frustrated that climate change has slid down the government's agenda.

The Telegraph's Emily Gosden reports that Moxham's replacement is to be Tara Singh, a PR person who used to work at Centrica and before that was a Conservative special adviser.
