Parliamentary Private Secretary

A parliamentary private secretary (PPS) is a member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom who acts as an unpaid assistant to a government minister or a shadow minister. They are selected from backbench MPs as the "eyes and ears" of the minister in the House of Commons.[1]

PPSs are junior to parliamentary under-secretaries of state, a ministerial post salaried by one or more departments.
