He spent only seven weeks as Environment Secretary under Liz Truss's doomed premiership, but it seems that Ranil Jayawardena is determined to keep a memento of his brief time in office.
Whitehall sources claim that Mr Jayawardena has 'walked off' with his ministerial red box and appears 'reluctant to relinquish it'.
Ministers are expected to hand back the boxes – which can cost as much as £4,000 – when they leave government.
