A GOVERNMENT minister last night apologised for bombarding his young female secretary with text messages.
Susie Mason, 25, was moved to another job after complaining about junior health minister Ivan Lewis.
The Department of Health said last night: “A member of staff in the private office of Ivan Lewis informed managers she was unhappy with the nature of her working relationship with the minister. He apologises unreservedly.”
Lewis, 41, left his wife in 2006. He is responsible for social care and mental health.
Miss Mason, who did not make a formal complaint about the texts last year, became a private secretary when Lewis arrived at the department in 2006.
She has left the health office and now works for an accountancy firm.
