Dame Caroline Dinenage has been re-elected as chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
Dame Caroline, who held the role prior to the dissolution of parliament, was unopposed.
“I’m delighted to be re-elected to chair the Culture, Media and Sport Committee and entrusted to build on our achievements in the last parliament,” Dame Caroline said in a statement. “These sectors are our global economic super-power, they have remarkable abilities to drive regeneration and bring communities together. I will continue to work cross-party to ensure the government doesn’t take them for granted and they continue to fire on all cylinders.”
Dame Caroline is the Conservative MP for Gosport and the daughter of veteran TV presenter Fred Dinenage.
She will take the chair once parliament has appointed the remaining members of the committee.
