New Shadow Secretaries of State for culture and tech announced

The new appointments come as part of a shadow cabinet reshuffle.

The Labour Party has appointed Thangam Debonnaire as the new Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and also appointed Peter Kyle as the new Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology.

This change aligns the Shadow Cabinet with the government departments (earlier this year, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport was split into the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and, separately, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology).

In addition, Chris Bryant has been appointed as the cross-departmental Shadow Minister for Creative Industries and Digital.

The PPA will be contacting the offices of Debonnaire, Kyle, and Bryant to introduce ourselves as the trade body for the specialist publishing sector.
