Beaverbrook reshapes wartime ministries and adds stakes
Beaverbrook, credited with accelerating aircraft production, is poised to gain control of guns tanks and other war materiel in a newly assigned post. The move, described as a deputy prime minister role by observers, aims to streamline leadership while not altering the inner war cabinet. Minor changes shift parliamentary secretaries and unify transport and shipping ministries, with Leathers named to a key wartime communications post and cited as an industry expert.
