Dan Norris, who is now minister for rural affairs, joins the department’s existing Parliamentary under-secretary of state, Huw Irranca-Davies, environment secretary Hilary Benn and newly appointed minister of state, Jim Fitzpatrick. Mr Norris was one of the most vociferous supporters of the 2004 Hunting Act.
