Our MP, Kemi Badenoch, has been appointed as the new Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and Minister for Equalities by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the re-shuffle which was announced yesterday evening (Thursday).
Kemi, who is currently on maternity leave, said, when asked about her new role, "It is a privilege to be asked to serve in the Prime Minister's government at such a crucial time for our country. My Treasury role encompasses a wide range of responsibilities for the UK's growth and productivity including, but not limited to, financial policy on regional devolution, transport taxation and energy infrastructure and I am looking forward to taking on these positions."
