A new housing minister has been appointed as part of a cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Stuart Andrew will replace Christopher Pincher, who was appointed to the post two years ago. Mr Andrew becomes the fifth housing minister in four years.
Until the reshuffle, Mr Andrew held the role of deputy chief whip of the House of Commons and treasurer of HM Household.
The MP for Pudsey, West Yorkshire, has previously voted to phase out secure tenancies and to require those on high incomes living in social housing to pay market rent. He also voted against an amendment that would require private landlords to make their homes “fit for human habitation” in 2016.
