Minister of State is former Assistant Whip Nigel Adams, MP for Selby and Ainsty, replacing Margot James who resigned rather than serve BoJo. Adams left Selby Grammar School at 17. Aged 26, he set up Advanced Digital Telecom in 1993 with a £20 a week grant via the Enterprise Allowance Scheme. It re-sold phone and mobile network time and billing services to businesses. It was later sold for £3.1 million to JWE Telecom. He subsequently acquired NGC Networks in 2006, a business in which he continues to be a shareholder. He gets the job of delivering Boris' full-fibre
PPS 1 is Matt Warman, MP for Boston and Skegness, another former Assistant Whip. Before politics, Matt (37, Haberdashers' Aske's and BA English Literature, Durham University) wrote on digital technology for the Telegraph from 2004 to 2015. He replaces Mims Davies who moves to the DWP with Amber Rudd.
PPS 2 is Baroness Barran (60, Benenden School and King's College, Cambridge). As Diana Barran, she was an investment banker and set up her own hedge fund. She went to the Lords in May last year, and became a Government whip. She will be known to some Beeboids as a Trustee for Comic Relief.
Still standing, at time of writing, from the Jeremy Wright regime is Rebecca Pow.
