Blunkett returns in new Cabinet, according to the BBC:
David Blunkett has returned to the Cabinet as work and pensions secretary as Tony Blair reshuffles his top team.
Patricia Hewitt has been appointed health secretary – with John Reid moving to defence and Geoff Hoon becoming Commons leader.
In other changes, Alan Johnson takes the new post of secretary for productivity, energy and industry.
Chancellor Gordon Brown, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Home Secretary Charles Clarke remain in their posts.
David Miliband enters the Cabinet as community and local government secretary.
The shake-up came after Mr Blair won an historic third election – but with a majority cut from 167 in 2001 to 66.
Mr Blair said he had “listened and learned” after the election result.
The prime minister acknowledged the Iraq war had been “deeply divisive”.
But he said he believed people wanted to move on.
