New man in charge of Crown Dependencies

There’ll be a new face for Manx officials to deal with in the UK after a government reshuffle this week.

Chris Grayling's is the coalition’s new Justice Secretary, replacing Ken Clarke, and takes charge of relations with the Crown Dependencies.

He was shadow home secretary until 2010 when he was made employment minister.

Educated at Cambridge University, he was a BBC News producer and has written books on topics such as the Bridgewater Canal and Anglo-American relations.
