This week’s government reshuffle led to three MPs, including Browne, joining the transport department.

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.
