The Department for Culture, Media and Sport confirmed today (Friday) that Glen will now be responsible for tourism, along with arts and heritage.

Glen will work alongside Tracey Crouch, MP for Chatham and Aylesford, who has been reappointed as parliamentary under secretary with a portfolio that includes sport and the National Lottery and society lotteries.

It had previously been suggested that Crouch would continue with the tourism role after she tweeted that she had been "reappointed".

In a statement released today, Glen stated that he was delighted to be representing such an "exciting and influential industry as tourism".
