Torbay MP Kevin Foster has been appointed minister of state at the Department for Transport.


He will serve under new transport secretary, former secretary of state for international trade, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, who replaced Grant Shapps as transport secretary on Tuesday (6 September).


The DfT is yet to detail former Home Office minister Foster’s responsibilities within the department.


At the Home Office, Foster latterly held the role of minister for safe and legal migration. Prior to that post, he was minister for immigration.
