Nicky Morgan has been named as the new Culture Secretary.

Nicky Morgan has previously served in Government before as both Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities from July 2014 to July 2016 but was removed by Theresa May.

An enormous privilege to take on this fabulous role - although I’m sad to move on from @CommonsTreasury which I have absolutely loved chairing. Thank you to my fellow Select Committee members & committee staff https://t.co/TjdXf0TbYz
