Liz Truss's new Tory cabinet has the highest proportion of privately-educated ministers since Sir John Major's top team in 1992, new analysis shows.
The educational charity The Sutton Trust found that 68% of the Prime Minister's most senior ministers attended fee-paying schools - compared with 64% in Boris Johnson's first cabinet.
It is more than double Theresa May's first cabinet in 2016 - 30% attended independents - and more than David Cameron's 2010 coalition cabinet, with 62% the alumni of private schools.
The Sutton Trust estimates that the number of cabinet ministers who attended fee-paying schools is almost ten times higher than the general population - which stands at around 7%.
