Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made Rachel Maclean a junior minister in place of Lucy Frazer, who covered housing strategy.
Frazer was responsible for policy on home ownership, buying and selling, with colleague Felicity Buchan, who has not moved in the PM’s reshuffle, in charge of PRS and the Renters Reform Bill.
She was the 14th housing minister in the space of 12 years, and her replacement will be the fifth in eight months. Frazer is the new Culture Secretary replacing Michelle Donelan.
