Harborough’s MP Quits Government Ministerial Role
Written by HFM News on 13th November 2023
Harborough’s MP has resigned from government.
Conservative Neil O’Brien has stood down as a junior health minister, saying he wants to focus on constituency work and see more of his family.
Announcing his departure this morning, he said: It’s been a privilege to serve at DHSC. Great ministerial team & spads and some fab officials.
“But with so much going on locally I want to focus 100% on constituency work so have asked to go to back benches.
“I’m also keen to see more of our two small children.”

Mr O’Brien has been Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care since September last year.
His announcement comes ahead of an expected government re-shuffle by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today, following the sacking of Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
