The Minister for Security is a ministerial position in the Home Office. The post was created by Prime Minister Gordon Brown on 3 June 2009 by splitting the now-defunct post of the Minister for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing between this post (then called Minister for Security and Counter-Terrorism) and the new post of Minister for Crime and Policing.
The current postholder is James Brokenshire MP, appointed by Boris Johnson in 2020. The previous Security Minister, Lady Neville-Jones, resigned in May 2011 to be replaced as Minister of State at the Home Office by Lady Browning, while her brief at the Home Office for Security was taken on by James Brokenshire but only as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State.[1] Following the resignation on 8 February 2014 of the Minister of State for Immigration, Mark Harper, the position was temporarily merged with that of Minister for Security. James Brokenshire assumed the enlarged role of Minister for Security and Immigration. The two posts were divided again on 8 May 2015.
