Caroline Dinenage, MP for Gosport, has been moved from her position as care minister at the Department of Health and Social Care to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

In her new role, Ms Dinenage will be responsible for online security, museums and libraries, as well as the Festival of Britain.

‘After two amazing years at the Department of Health and Social Care, I’m off to face big new challenges,’ she said.
