Reed succeeds Rayner as housing secretary - Construction News

Steve Reed has been appointed housing secretary following Angela Rayner’s resignation after it emerged she underpaid stamp duty on a flat.

Reed moves to the role from his previous position as secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs.

The appointment was made as part of a reshuffle by prime minister Sir Keir Starmer after Rayner resigned as housing secretary and deputy prime minister last Friday (5 September).

Reed was elected MP for Streatham and Croydon North in July 2024, having previously served as MP for Croydon North since 2012.
