Bradshaw replaces Burnham as culture secretary

By Tom Walker    05 Jun 2009

Cabinet minister Andy Burnham has changed departments, leaving behind the DCMS to become the new secretary of state for health.

The move is part of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's cabinet reshuffle, and follows the resignations of a number of high-profile ministers.

Burnham, who was appointed culture secretary in January 2008, has been replaced by health minister Ben Bradshaw.

Bradshaw, the MP for Exeter, takes up the position after a sting as the minister for health and south west. He entered parliament in 1997 after a career in journalism.

At the time of his election, Bradshaw was working on the BBC's The World At One programme.

The son of a Church of England vicar, Bradshaw is openly gay and is a keen hiker.
