So who's the Minister for Brighton and Hove, then?

Charles Hendry, Shadow Minister for Postal Affairs, Shadow Minister for Brighton and Hove, House of Commons

That's soooo Brighton and Hove, don't you think? Having our own minister.

Hendry's official title is Shadow Business and Enterprise Minister for Energy, Industry and Postal Affairs. At least that's what his website says.

Parmjit Dhanda MP is Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in Communities and Local Government. His brief covers planning casework for the South East, which is the closest to a BHA minister

Minister for Brighton & Hove Shadows?

 

[Tubby Mondays]

I thought it was Lord Canning?

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

The Tories have appointed several "shadow ministers" for places where, frankly, they need to win seats to stand any chance of getting into government. Alan Duncan is the "shadow minister for Tyneside". Can't remember the others, though.

There is a Government Minster for the South East, Jonathan Shaw. I've never heard of him.

They didn't say shadow minister. They said Shadow Mincer.
