The British Under-Secretary of State for Crime and Security is a junior minister in the British cabinet.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State[1] is the lowest of three tiers of government minister in the UK government, immediately junior to a Minister of State, which is itself junior to a Secretary of State.[2]
When James Brokenshire had this job 2011-2014, he was responsible for updating plans to tackle "terror content" online, by "ordering broadband companies to block extremist websites and empower a specialist unit to identify and report content deemed too dangerous for online publication."[3]
