Conservative MP David Duguid has been made a junior minister in the Scotland Office – a year after leaving a similar role.
Mr Duguid had been a minister in the UK Government department from June 2020 to September 2021, but left to become a fisheries envoy for then prime minister Boris Johnson.
It was announced on Wednesday morning that the Banff and Buchan MP had once again been made a Scotland Office minister.
"I am honoured to have been appointed as a Scotland Office Minister. I look forward to working with the Scottish Secretary and ministerial colleagues across the UK Government to deliver our ambitious programme for the people of Scotland and the whole UK.
