Pamela Gordon's major shake-up of her Ministers, due to be announced today.

Ministerial responsibilities may be chopped and changed, as well as Ministers themselves -- employing the appeal of younger members of the ruling United Bermuda Party.

And a new Minister could be added to Cabinet to take over responsibilities split off from an existing Ministry.

Certain to be on the move is Transport Minister Wayne Furbert, perhaps to Works and Engineering or even Labour and Home Affairs.

And Youth and Sport Minister Tim Smith may be given a clear run at a more senior Cabinet role -- perhaps at the Transport Ministry vacated by Mr.

Furbert.

Labour and Home Affairs Minister Mr. Edness could be in line to take over at Health and Social Services -- which he has been looking after for several months, following Dr. Clarence Terceira's decision to quit politics.

And the massive Labour, Home Affairs and Public Safety Ministry, which also includes immigration, may be broken up, with some responsibilities going elsewhere.

Deputy Premier and Education Minister Jerome Dill is rated by colleagues, especially after his handling of the controversial reform of the schools system.

But he suffered a stroke recently -- so a move to another role, perhaps a newly-created one, would give him a rest and also give him more time to concentrate on the crucial election year role of Deputy Premier.

Sen. Yvette Swan -- regarded as one of the hardest workers on the UBP team and due to take a crack at Warwick West at the next election -- could perform well at Youth and Sport, perhaps with her Community and Cultural Affairs portfolio added on.

And former Technology and Information Minister John Barritt may make a return to Cabinet -- probably in a role where his legal background would be useful.

Mr. Barritt may take over Legislative Affairs -- or even the law and order or immigration aspects from Labour and Home Affairs.

And it is possible the Premier has even considered taking the controversial issue of housing from Works and Engineering.

Sen. E.T. (Bob) Richards -- also due to take a stab at a seat in Parliament in Warwick East -- is likely to be left in the Technology role, which includes the current political hot potato of Telecommunications.

And Finance Minister Grant Gibbons and Tourism Minister David Dodwell will both stay where they are.

Environment Minister Irving Pearman is also unlikely to be moved -- but C.V.

(Jim) Woolridge could be due a change.

The new-look Cabinet will be presented to the UBP's caucus tomorrow.

Then they will go straight into the trenches for the crucial General Election battle in the House of Assembly, which starts its new session on Friday.

The Premier is understood to be keen to stamp her own personality on the Cabinet she will lead into a General Election -- a team largely inherited from her predecessor David Saul.

And she is believed to be keen to bring in a number of fresh faces to boost her party's appeal at the polls.

The Premier has already established a track record of swapping responsibilities between Government Ministries.

Her first major moves after taking over the reins of power from David Saul last year were to take Marine and Ports away from Tourism, headed by David Dodwell, and add it to Wayne Furbert's Transport Ministry.

She also split the Information and Technology Ministry, taking Information under her own wing and giving Technology to Sen. Richards.
