Kelly Tolhurst has been appointed as an education minister, as schools minister Will Quince moves to the Department of Health.

Tolhurst, a former housing minister who is MP for Rochester and Strood, is the first junior minister to be appointed to the Department for Education under new prime minister Liz Truss.

However Quince, responsible for overseeing schools and SEND review, has moved on. Like Quince, Tolhurst is a minister of state, but her exact portfolio is yet to be confirmed.

Kit Malthouse was made education secretary last night.
