Will Quince is the new schools minister following a reshuffle prompted by mass resignations last week.
The MP for Colchester served as children’s minister from September until last Wednesday, when he resigned in protest over Boris Johnson’s leadership.
However, he rejoined the department on Thursday as a minister of state, and was confirmed as schools minister today.
Quince has announced he will retain responsibility for special educational needs and disabilities, including the SEND green paper, which he led as children’s minister.
