Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes MP has been reappointed by the Prime Minister as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Ministerial team at the UK Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

A PPS is selected from backbench MPs to act as an assistant to a minister or team of ministers in the House of Commons. The role is unpaid. 

The DCMS helps to protect and promote the UK’s cultural and artistic heritage, as well as sport and digital technology.

It helps businesses and communities to grow by investing in innovation and highlighting Britain as a fantastic place to visit, as well as giving the UK a unique advantage on the global stage, striving for economic success. 

Mr Baynes will work alongside all of the DCMS Ministers, including Julia Lopez MP (Minister of State for Media, Data, and Digital Infrastructure), Paul Scully MP (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Tech and the Digital Economy) and Rt Hon Stuart Andrew MP (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sport, Tourism, Civil Society and Youth), as well as Paul Bristow MP, as the PPS to the Secretary of State, Rt Hon Michelle Donelan MP. 

Mr Baynes said: “I am very honoured and delighted to have been re-appointed as the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Ministerial team at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. 

"The work of the Department covers many areas of UK Government policy which are extremely important for Clwyd South. And I am looking forward to delivering on the Government’s commitments and continuing to work hard for the people of Clwyd South as their local Member of Parliament.”
