Conversation so far:
What did Michael Portillo do in government?
In 1987, Portillo was given his first ministerial post, as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Social Security.
Are there any other interesting aspects about this article?
In 1990, Portillo was appointed Minister of State for Local Government, in which post he argued in favour of the ultimately highly unpopular Community Charge system .

Question: Did he have any other government roles?
Self-contained rewrite: In addition to being appointed Minister of State for Local Government and being Under-Secretary of State for Social Security, did Michael Portillo have any other government roles?
