Lee Rowley has got his job back as housing minister after previously holding the role in Liz Truss’s ill-fated government.
The MP for North East Derbyshire was last housing minister between September and October 2022.
There was a lengthy delay after it was announced that the previous housing minister Rachel Maclean was sacked earlier today, as other ministers reportedly turned down the role.
Maclean held the role between February and November, a relatively long stint compared to other recent incumbents.
Before he became an MP Rowley worked in financial services and management consultancy, holding positions at Barclays, KPMG, Santander UK, and Co-op Insurance.
This latest development means Rowley is the 13th and 16th housing minister since 2010.
