Promotion for Dowden to culture secretarypublished at 14:06 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February 2020
Another MP to walk out of Downing Street with a bigger job than when he entered is Oliver Dowden.
He went into No 10 as a Cabinet Office minister, but has now been appointed as the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport.
Mr Dowden takes over the post from Baroness Morgan.
She held the role when she was an MP, but kept the job when she lost her seat and was elevated to the House of Lords.
Baroness Morgan had always said she expected it to be a short term solution. Now Mr Dowden will take on the role.
