Stephanie Peacock has remained as a minister in the renamed Department for Culture, Media and Sport but her responsibilities are yet to be confirmed.
The MP for Barnsley South, who has held the charities brief among other responsibilities since July 2024, has been reappointed as a parliamentary under-secretary at the now Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
The department, which has assumed responsibility for the Office for the Impact Economy, has had the word “digital” inserted into its name for the second time.
Vicky Foxcroft has also joined the DCMS as a junior minister as part of new Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s reshuffle, with her responsibilities yet to be confirmed.
The MP for Lewisham North was the shadow charities minister between June 2019 and April 2020.
Foxcroft’s website says she “achieved a long-held ambition” when she was last year elected to be part of the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
Burnham has also made Ruth MacKenzie a life peer and appointed as a parliamentary under-secretary at the DCMS.
MacKenzie, who has been a special adviser to five culture secretaries, has had a long career in the arts sector, having held roles including chair of the London Area Council of Arts Council England and been artistic director at events including the Adelaide Festival, the Holland Festival and the London 2012 Festival.
Lisa Nandy, another former shadow charities minister, has remained in post as the culture secretary, while Ian Murray stays in the department as a minister of state, a more senior post than parliamentary under-secretary.
Baroness Twycross, who has served as gambling minister for the past two years, remains as a parliamentary under-secretary at the DCMS.
All of the ministerial responsibilities remain subject to confirmation, which might not take place until early next week.
