Lee Rowley has returned to the post of housing minister, replacing Rachel Maclean who was sacked from the role earlier today.
Rowley, who has been serving as the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities since September 2022, now takes on an important role in the government’s housing agenda.
He becomes the latest in a long line of ministers to hold the post and takes up the role on the eve of the Renters (Reform) Bill being introduced to committee.
Prior to this appointment, Rowley held the position of Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, as well as the role of Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury, from September 2021 to July 2022.
He was first elected as the Conservative MP for North East Derbyshire on 8th June 2017.
