As part of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle the youth brief has been handed to under-secretary of state for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Stuart Andrew.

As well as youth policy he is also minister for a raft of areas including sport, tourism, charities, as well as ceremonial events, most notably the coronation of King Charles III next year.

In addition, he is tasked with overseeing cultural events, including next year’s Eurovision song contest, which the UK is staging as it is unable to take place in Ukraine, which won the event this year.

Andrew is also responsible for representing the government on arts and heritage policy in the House of Commons and overseeing events such as the City of Culture.
