I agree with Andrew except for the Andrew.

I think the Minister's name is James Arthur.

I agree with Andrew except for the Andrew.

I think the Minister's name is James Arthur.

I had looked a that and also considered Archer as a possibility.

All the best,

All three seem possible, but I'd choose Arthur over Archer. Eventhough I can't see a cross stroke on the 't', the last 2 letters seem more likely to be 'ur' rather than 'er'
