Lucy Frazer to step down as housing minister



Lucy Frazer will be stepping down from her role as minister of state in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLHC), following her appointment as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport announced today (7th February).


Her stint at the DLHC lasted only a few months, from 26th October 2022 to today.

The news follows the creation of four new departments by the prime minister Rishi Sunak:

  • the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero — tasked with securing a long-term energy supply for the UK, bringing down bills and halving inflation
  • the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology — created to drive the innovation that will deliver improved public services, create new and better-paid jobs and grow the economy
  • the Department for Business and Trade — which will focus on supporting growth by backing British businesses at home and abroad
  • the Department for Culture, Media and Sport — created to recognise the importance of these industries to the UK’s economy
