I am delighted to have been appointed Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. I will work with the Prime Minister to safeguard our energy security, reduce bills for families, and build cleaner, cheaper, homegrown energy.
Big thank you to my stellar team who supported me as Minister for Children, Families and Wellbeing. I know my successor, David Johnston MP, will be champing at the bit to improve the lives of children and families up and down the country.
From the largest expansion of childcare in history, to our new Freedom of Speech Act, to driving forward reforms in SEND, for foster carers, in children’s social care and for childminders. It has been a privilege to work with so many talented people.
