Labour MP Matthew Pennycook has been named as the principal housing minister in the new government.
He was shadow housing minister when Labour was in opposition.
One of his early tasks will be proposing the Labour version of the Renters Reform Bill.
When the announcement was made he tweeted: “It is a real honour to have been appointed Minister of State at the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. Tackling the housing crisis and boosting economic growth is integral to national renewal. Time to get to work.”
