David Cameron, who served as the UK Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, made a surprising return to government in November 2023 when he was appointed Foreign Secretary under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. To take on the role, he was granted a peerage, becoming Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton, and took a seat in the House of Lords. His tenure as Foreign Secretary lasted until July 2024, during which he played a key role in shaping the UK’s foreign policy and diplomatic relations.

Prime Minister David Cameron described the allegations as "appalling" and stated that if they are true, it is a dereliction of duty.
