Mid Worcestershire MP Nigel Huddleston has taken over from Helen Whately to be the new tourism minister in Boris Johnson’s government.
He will have responsibility for the Commonwealth Games, gambling and lotteries, and tourism and heritage, alongside duties as assistant government whip.
Before 2015 when he was first elected, Huddleston worked at Deloitte in the travel, hospitality and leisure departments and at Google as industry head of travel.
Huddleston was on parliament’s culture, media and sport select committee from 2015 to 2017 and has been parliamentary private secretary to ministers in the digital, culture, media and sport department since 2017.
