Michael Gove has been named the new minister for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The sometimes controversial MP replaces Robert Jenrick, who was removed from the role in Boris Johnson's Cabinet reshuffle yesterday.
As the new housing secretary, Mr Gove will decide where and how new housing should be approved and oversee a new building safety regime and a shake-up of the planning system.
