As we experience yet another cabinet reshuffle, we’ve added a list of names for those positions which include elements of child welfare.
These appointments were announced on February 13, 2020, in a statement issued by Downing Street.
The official page which houses full details of ministers by department has not yet been updated, so it is possible that some changes may take place between now, and when the page is finalised.
Noteworthy developments include the removal of Kemi Badenoch as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Education, to Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Equalities) in the Department for International Trade.
Badenoch’s stand-in, Michelle Donelan, who covered for Kemi while she was on maternity leave, remains at the Department for Education and has been promoted to a ministerial position.
