Burnham-On-Sea MP Ashley Fox has been appointed to Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Energy Security as part of Kemi Badenoch’s new Conservative frontbench team.
The appointment was announced following changes to the Shadow Cabinet and wider Conservative frontbench team.
He will serve alongside Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security Andrew Bowie and Shadow Minister of State Luke Evans, with his specific portfolio responsibilities to be confirmed in due course.
The role has particular relevance to Ashley’s constituency, with Hinkley Point C on its doorstep. One of the country’s largest infrastructure projects, Hinkley Point C is also a major employer in Somerset.
Ashley Fox MP said: “I am delighted to join the Shadow Energy Security team. I am looking forward to holding the Government to account and helping develop our plans for providing cheaper and more secure energy for Britain.”
