The government has appointed Lord Prior (right) as new construction minister.
The Conservative peer and former Lehman Brothers associate takes over the role from Jesse Norman who is moving on to become energy minister.

Prior was previously a junior health minister and was brought into the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy just before Christmas.
