Government reshuffle splits UK science minister brief
Amanda Solloway is promoted from the backbenches to become the UK’s new science minister
The role of universities and science minister has been split in two in the recent UK government reshuffle. After some initial reluctance to confirm the responsibilities of the ministers involved, it appears Amanda Solloway is the new science minister within the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Michelle Donelan is the new minister for universities within the Department of Education.
