In September 2022, as part of the incoming Truss ministry, the role was sub-divided into a political and non-political remit, with Adam Jones becoming the political director of communications and Simon McGee the director of government communications. The role is currently held by Matthew Doyle, who served as Director of Communications under Keir Starmer whilst in opposition. The role sub-division was abolished during the Sunak ministry.
