« What do you think of the Coalition? | Main | Fuller list of junior appointments »

News of junior ministerial appointments is now coming through...

So far we know that Damian Green will be Immigration Minister; the position he shadowed.

Nick Herbert will be Police Reform Minister. Nick developed the reform agenda and is the best person to see the agenda come to fruition.

Greg Clark will be responsible for decentralisation within the DCLG team. As former Head of Policy for the Tory Party from 2001 until 2005 he authored the Total Politics analysis; an inquiry into the perils of centralising, controlling, politicised government. Another good appointment.
