Suella Braverman QC has returned to the position of Attorney General following her maternity leave
The Prime Minister reappointed Braverman this week, also reappointing Michael Ellis Solicitor General following his time as Attorney General while Braverman was on leave. Braverman is the first Cabinet-level minister to take maternity leave, during which time she was designated ‘Minister on Leave’, following the passage of the Ministerial and Other Maternity Allowances Act.
Braverman said she was grateful for the opportunity to ‘go on maternity leave in the way other women can and come back to a job I am honoured to do.
‘I can’t wait to get back to work. One of my first priorities is to continue the government’s work in rebuilding confidence and trust in our criminal justice system, particularly with victims.’
