COLCHESTER MP Will Quince has been reappointed as a minister of state in the department of health and social care by new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The 39-year-old was previously the children and families minister, but resigned from his position in July.

The Conservative MP, who was elected in 2015, then became the minister for school standards at the Department for Education for two months between July and September.

In a tweet posted on social media, Mr Quince said he was "delighted" to return to the department of health and social care.
