In two thousand fourteen, following a cabinet reshuffle, he was appointed Secretary of State for Defence, a position he held until his resignation in two thousand seventeen amid the Westminster sexual misconduct allegations. Fallon's career reflects a deep commitment to public service and the Conservative Party's values.
