This role was created by the splitting of the now-defunct office of the Minister for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing into two new ministerial posts: Security & Counter-Terrorism and Crime & Policing.

The previous minister was Jeremy Quin, who served from 7 September 2022 to 25 October 2022 in the Truss Ministry.[4][5] After Liz Truss resigned and Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister, Quin was appointed as Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office. He was replaced by Chris Philp.
