Gyimah moves on from childcare role, as DfE team takes shape

Policy & Politics
Childcare minister Sam Gyimah has moved to the Ministry of Justice, as Theresa May continued her reshuffle over the weekend.

The newly expanded Department for Education ministerial team now looks to be in place, but individual responsibilites, including early years and childcare, are yet to be confirmed.

Mr Gyimah said on Twitter, ‘Delighted to be appointed as a minister in the justice department to help drive progressive reform of the Justice system.’

His new boss is another former childcare minister - Elizabeth Truss, named last week as the new Secretary of State for Justice and the first woman to be appointed Lord Chancellor.

Education Secretary Justine Greening tweeted, ‘V much looking forward to working in @educationgovuk with @NickGibbMP @halfn4harlowMP @JoJohnsonMP @ edwardtimpson @cj_dinenage & Lord Nash.’
