Mark Francois, MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, has been named the new housing minister, replacing Brandon Lewis.
The first week of the new Conservative Government has seen a huge rearrangement of the cabinet.
Mr. Francois, 50, was previously the Minister of State for the Armed Forces under the coalition government.
The Daily Telegraph described Francois as “a bit of an animal”1 in 2009 due to his love of Peperoni. The company used this slogan in an advertising campaign.
