This week’s government reshuffle led to three MPs, including Browne, joining the transport department.
South Cambridgeshire MP Browne was previously chief executive for the British Banking Association.
Following the publication of the UK government’s Fraud Strategy, he was appointed as the first Prime Minister’s Anti-Fraud Champion.
In his new ministerial role, he will have responsibility for aviation, transport decarbonisation, air quality, technology including autonomous vehicles, and aviation accessibility.
