Milburn described social mobility as one of the biggest challenges facing Britain today, saying "It is not just the poorest in society who are losing out. Whole communities and parts of Britain are being left behind."
He told May he plans to establish a new social mobility institute, independent of the government and political parties, to take forward the practical work needed to make a reality a fairer, more open, more mobile society in Britain.
The Social Mobility Commission was established as an advisory public body to monitor progress towards improving social mobility in Britain and promote social mobility in England.
A Downing Street spokesperson said Milburn's turn of office as chairman was due to end in 2018, and the government intended to hold an open process for a chairperson. The spokesperson added the government was committed to fighting injustice and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to go as far as their talents will take them.
The process of appointing a new chairperson and commissioners would begin as soon as possible, added Number 10.
