The Conservative MP for Harlow has confirmed he has been removed from the role, which he has held since July, in the Prime Minister's Cabinet reshuffle.
Writing on Twitter, @Halfon4harlow, said, ‘It's been an honour to have served as Apprenticeships Minister. I'm proud we have a record 900K apprentices & to have passed the FE/TE Bill.’
It is believed that Anne Milton, MP for Guildford, who has now been named as a minister at the Department for Education (DfE), will take over the brief for apprenticeships and skills.
Ms Milton was previously deputy chief whip and before that a junior minister at the Department of Health (DoH). Prior to her career in politics, she trained as a nurse and worked in the NHS for 25 years.
