The Housing Secretary and MP for Surrey Heath said he had 'always tried to be a voice for those who are overlooked and undervalued'
Michael Gove has become the latest Conservative MP to announce he will step down at the general election. The Housing Secretary and MP for Surrey Heath announced his decision in a letter shared on social media site X on Friday night, saying it was time for a "new generation" to lead.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s decision to call a summer election surprised many in Westminster, who had been expecting an autumn poll. The news has reportedly caused disquiet among some Tory MPs fearful of losing their jobs, and newspaper reports have suggested Cabinet ministers voiced concerns about the decision.
The MP, who was first elected in May 2005, currently holds the Government posts of Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations.
