Formation15 July 1955

InBritish politics, theshadow home secretary (formally known as theshadow secretary of state for the home department) is the person within theshadow cabinet who shadows thehome secretary; this effectively means scrutinising government policy on home affairs includingpolicing,national security, and matters ofcitizenship. The shadow home secretary also formerly had responsibility for thecriminal justice system and theprison service; these responsibilities are now held by theshadow justice secretary. If the opposition party is elected to government, the Shadow Home Secretary often becomes the new Home Secretary, though this is not always the case. The office is currently held byChris Philp, a member of theConservative shadow cabinet.

In recent decades, the positions ofhome secretary and shadow home secretary have alternated between theConservative andLabour parties. The corresponding position for theLiberal Democrats is theLiberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson.
