[[Justine Greening]] replaced [[Nicky Morgan]] as both [[Secretary of State for Education]] and Minister for Women and Equalities when [[Theresa May]] was appointed Prime Minister on 13 July 2016. Morgan initially held the title of Minister for Women after the resignation of [[Maria Miller]] in April 2014, in conjunction with being [[Financial Secretary to the Treasury]], whilst the Equalities brief was given to [[Sajid Javid]] who had replaced Miller as [[Secretary of State for Culture]]. While the Women and Equalities briefs were recombined in July 2014, the responsibility for marriage equality was assigned to [[Nick Boles]], who held the title of Minister of State for Skills, Enterprise and Equalities and had a base in both the Education and Business departments. Both splits in responsibilities were due to Nicky Morgan having voted against the legalisation of gay marriage.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/jul/15/equalities-minister-voted-against-gay-marriage-nicky-morgan|title=Nicky Morgan's gay-marriage stance causes equalities role confusion... again|work=The Guardian|first=Rowena|last=Mason|date=15 July 2014|access-date=17 July 2014}}</ref>
