It appears likely that Rachel Maclean is set to become the sixth housing minister in 12 months, replacing Lucy Frazer.
In the final announcement of Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle yesterday evening Maclean was named as a general minister at the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
The DLUHC website does not specify that Maclean will take the housing brief but she is a replacement for housing minister Frazer, who now becomes Culture Secretary.
Until yesterday Frazer was responsible for housing strategy, home ownership, buying and selling.
Her DLUHC colleague Felicity Buchan - who has not moved in the reshuffle - remains the minister responsible for the upcoming Renters Reform Bill.
Maclean was previously Minister of State at Ministry of Justice for just six weeks during the Liz Truss premiership.
She was Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Home Office between September 2021 and July 2022, and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Transport between February 2020 and September 2021.
She was elected Conservative MP for Redditch in 2017.
