**The Rt Hon Lucy Frazer KC MP has been appointed as the latest Secretary of State
for Culture, Media, and Sport, in a cabinet reshuffle by PM Rishi Sunak.**

She replaces Michelle Donelan, MP for Chippenham, who was appointed to the role 
last September and took over from Nadine Dorries who had held the post for just 
under a year.

Conservative MP for South East Cambridgeshire, Frazer has held a number of positions
in the last year. She was previously Minister of State in the Department for Levelling
Up, Housing and Communities from 26 October 2022 to 7 February 2023.
