Johnson served as Economic Secretary to the Treasury, then Minister for Competition and Consumers in the DTI, and finally, Minister for Public Health in the Department of Health. Benedict Brogan, a journalist, compared Johnson’s speeches to the “read-your-weight manner” of a supermarket Tannoy. He accused her of repeating “the mantra she had been taught”.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 Johnson became more vocal on the issue, stating “Breast cancer can happen to any woman, regardless of who she is.

In 1997, she was elected the first time after a defeat of the majority of 6,583. Johnson was elected to Welwyn Hatfield after her opponent David Evans made a statement that made national headlines. Sixth-form students at Stanborough School, Welwyn Garden City taped Evans, denouncing Johnson for being “a single girl”, living with her boyfriend and three children. Evans also said that she had never done a “proper job”. Johnson was living with her 18-year-old partner and raising their young family while she worked as a school inspector. Evans said that Johnson didn’t “have a chance to win in hell” during this taped statement. Evans also criticized her for living in Cambridge, rather than in the constituency she was in at the time.
