The job of minister for disabled people has been downgraded, with the new holder of the position staying at the most junior level in government.
Mims Davies has taken on the role within the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), but remains a parliamentary under secretary of state.
Predecessor Tom Pursglove was a minister of state when he held the job.
Earlier, No 10 denied the role was being downgraded as charities called for a new minister to be brought in.
Downing Street said the post, left vacant when Mr Pursglove was made minister for legal migration last week, would be filled by an existing member of the government with other duties.
Typical - the government doesn't deem the disabled important enough to warrant a full minister!!
