John Key is remaining quiet on whether Judith Collins will return to Cabinet in a reshuffle to be announced today.

When questioned on the possibility of Collins returning to cabinet on the Paul Henry Show this morning, Mr Key refused to elaborate.

"All I'm going to announce is there is a minor Cabinet reshuffle today," he said.

On Collins' stated desire to be back in Cabinet, Mr Key responded, "Everyone who's not in Cabinet wants to be in Cabinet.

"I'm not going to speculate."

The reshuffle will be announced after Mr Key's post-Cabinet press conference this afternoon.

Mr Key emphasised that the reshuffle would be "quite minor".
