Jeremy Hunt appointed as Culture Secretary

Jeremy Hunt has been appointed as the new Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport.

Mr Hunt, who is a member of the Conservative party, takes over from Labour's Ben Bradshaw.

In an interview on the DCMS website, Mr Hunt spoke of his delight at taking on the role - having previously held the same position in the Shadow cabinet - and gave his views on the creative sector.

“Our sectors – particularly creative industries, culture and tourism – are vital elements in the UK’s economic recovery. I know there is an incredible appetite for change across the country and I want the department to be at the forefront of making it happen.”
