It was announced last night that Aidan Burley - the Conservative MP elected last year for Cannock Chase on the biggest swing of any new MP - has been appointed parliamentary private secretary to Philip Hammond, the Transport Secretary. He replaces Lee Scott, who resigned before Christmas in order to abstain on the vote on tuition fees.
Aidan's first job in politics back in 2002 was in fact working as researcher to none other than... Philip Hammond, when he was trade and industry spokesman in opposition.
Congratulations to him on his appointment.
