Kit Malthouse has been appointed education secretary by new prime minister Liz Truss, becoming the fourth person to hold the role in just over two months.
The North West Hampshire MP has been serving as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the cabinet since July 7 following prime minister Boris Johnson’s reshuffle.
Malthouse had previously served as a housing minister for a year from July 2018 to July 2019 under Theresa May’s leadership, before being appointed as minister for crime and policing thereafter when Johnson became PM until July this year.
