Katie Lam Appointed as Conservative Shadow Housing Secretary
Katie Lam, a 35-year-old MP who was first elected in 2024, has been appointed as the Conservative Party's shadow housing secretary. She will now face Angela Rayner in this role.
Lam replaces Sir James Cleverly, the former Cabinet minister. Sir James is set to contest the London Mayoral election in 2027.
This change in the shadow housing secretary position is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as the shadow housing secretary plays a key role in shaping the opposition's stance on housing policy.
