The prime minister, who replaced David Cameron on Wednesday, merged the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills into a new ministry dubbed the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. She named former local government minister Greg Clark as its leader.
