Calvin Bailey, MP for Leyton and Wanstead, has been appointed Minister for Veterans and People at the Ministry of Defence.
It follows a ministerial reshuffle instigated by the resignation of Defence Secretary John Healey in June.
“I am proud to have been appointed alongside the new Defence Secretary, Dan Jarvis. The Armed Forces have shaped my life. A sixth-form scholarship gave me my start and set me on a path that led to 24 years of service in the RAF and, ultimately, to becoming a Member of Parliament,” said Calvin.
