WILL Quince has secured himself a new Government role just one day after resigning from his previous post as Downing Street descended into chaos.

The Colchester MP has officially been named as one of Boris Johnson's new ministers for the Department of Education.

His new appointment comes after he left his Minister for Children and Families position yesterday morning.

In a statement published at the time, Mr Quince, who has remained loyal to the outgoing Prime Minister throughout numerous scandals, said he had been left with "no choice."

Before quitting, the politician had appeared on television screens speaking about Mr Johnson's handling of allegations against deputy chief whip MP Chris Pincher.

Mr Pincher had himself resigned four days earlier amid claims he drunkenly groped two men at a Conservative private members’ club.

Mr Quince repeated assurances he had been given in a briefing ahead of the media round that Mr Johnson did not know about previous allegations.

Unfortunately for him, however, his statements were soon contradicted by the Prime Minister’s own spokesman just hours later.

But after returning to the backbenches of Downing Street for just over 24-hours, and following the Prime Minister's own resignation, Mr Quince has already been parachuted back in as a middle-ranking minister.

In a statement published on social media, he said: "In my letter on Wednesday I set out how hard it was stepping away from a job that I love, working every day to improve the life chances of children and young people.

"Pending the appointment of a new PM in the coming weeks, I have been asked and agreed to serve in HM Government.

"I care passionately about the work of the Department for Education.

"At this crucial time for our country, I believe it is my duty to use my Department of Education experience to assist the new Secretary of State James Cleverly to deliver on our vital work for our nation's children."
