After nearly 20 years as the Conservative MP for Surrey Heath, and serving in multiple cabinets over the course of the last 14 years, Mr Gove has said "a new generation should lead".
In a letter to his constituency chairman, the veteran cabinet minister said being an MP and minister has been a "profound privilege"
