A HAMPSHIRE minister returned to work this morning - but found himself locked out of his office and all his belongings packed into boxes.

Prior to the election, New Forest West MP Desmond Swayne was a minister at the Department for International Development.

The Conservative returned to work this morning only to find his door pass no longer works and all of his belongings had been cleared out of his office.

The move has left him in the dark as to whether or not he would be continuing in Government, as David Cameron finalises his reshuffle of the front benches.

Mr Swayne tweeted: "“The end?”

A DfiD spokesperson said the press office was still waiting for announcements as to who would be a minister at the department.
