A PPS is appointed by a minister to act as an unpaid assistant.
It is often seen as a stepping stone towards an MP being given a junior minister or cabinet post.
Commenting on the PPS appointments this week, Conservative Party Chairman Grant Shapps said:
“These are some of the brightest and the best of the Conservative Party and their appointments are testament to their hard work and dedication.”
