New tourism minister named

Prime Minister David Cameron has appointed Kent MP Tracey Crouch as tourism minister.

The MP for Chatham and Aylesford takes over from Helen Grant as Under Secretary of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Grant stepped down from the role ahead of last week’s General Election.

Crouch entered Parliament at the 2010 General Election and has served on the Commons select committee for culture, media and sport since 2012.
