Former Labour leader's son Stephen Kinnock becomes new Welsh secretary
He is the son of ex-Labour leader Neil Kinnock and former MEP Glenys Kinnock.
Stephen Kinnock has become Wales’s new secretary, according to a BBC Politics report based on a monitored public feed.
Kinnock is the son of former Labour leader Neil Kinnock and former MEP Glenys Kinnock. The appointment places him in one of the key ministerial roles connected to Welsh affairs at Westminster.
The available feed information is limited, but it confirms the change in post and identifies Kinnock’s political family background. His appointment will draw attention because of the long public profile of the Kinnock name in Labour politics, both in Wales and across the UK.
The move comes as ministerial posts continue to shift within the government structure responsible for handling Welsh issues. As Wales secretary, Kinnock will be expected to take on the brief covering the relationship between Westminster and Wales, alongside wider government business affecting the nation.
