Rotorua MP Todd McClay will be appointed a Minister outside Cabinet following the resignation of Peter Dunne.
The National MP was elected into Parliament in 2008 and was made the Chair of the Finance and Expenditure Committee last year.
Rotorua MP Todd McClay will replace Peter Dunne as a Minister outside Cabinet.
He will be sworn in at Parliament by the Governor General tomorrow morning.
'Mr McClay will be the new Revenue Minister and Associate Health Minister,” says the Prime Minister.
'The role of Associate Conservation Minister will be discontinued and those responsibilities will be assumed by the lead Minister – Dr Nick Smith.”
'I look forward to welcoming Mr McClay to the Executive. He has proven himself to be a valuable member of the National Party Caucus over the past four-and-a-half-years,” says the Prime Minister.
Todd will replace United Future's Peter Dunne who resigned from Parliament on Friday following the release of the report by David Henry into the GCSB.

You are a dedicated and hard working minister for Rotorua and fully deserve this recognition. Having three Ministers from the Bay of Plenty shows the calibre and talent of our politicians. Max Lewis Mt Maunganui.
