Sacking Philip Dunne was a 'mistake', says Shrewsbury MP
Sacking Philip Dunne as a health minister has been called a "mistake" by Shrewsbury and Atcham MP Daniel Kawczynski.
The Conservative Ludlow MP was one of the casualties of Prime Minister Theresa May’s re-shuffle, losing his position as Secretary of State for Health.
His dismissal brought to an end a five-and-a-half year period of holding ministerial positions in the government, having previously held a post in the Ministry of Defence.
Mr Kawczynski said: "To lose such a decent, intelligent and effective minister as Philip Dunne is a mistake."
He said Theresa May must bring him back to government as soon as possible and that he should be in the cabinet.
He added: "I feel the Prime Minister has made a serious mistake as there isn’t another minister in Westminster with his integrity, decency and intellect from my experience."
Mr Dunne was replaced by Caroline Dinenage as minister for health and social care.
