Beaconsfield MP Joy Morrisey has been appointed Boris Johnson's Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) after the Prime Minister reshuffled his Cabinet today (February 8).
This comes as the PM promised a rejig at No 10 amid ongoing pressure over the Downing Street parties held during lockdown.
An unpaid role, a PPS is considered to be a Minister's 'eyes and ears' in Parliament while gaining experience working in government.
