The Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson is the spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats on matters relating to the work of the Home Secretary and Home Office. The office holder is a member of the Liberal Democrat frontbench team. The post exists when the Liberal Democrats are in opposition, but not when they in government, for example during the Cameron–Clegg coalition.
The position is also sometimes called the Liberal Democrat shadow home secretary.[1][2]
Liberal Democrat shadow home secretary Chris Huhne said introducing the security measures was "sad" but "necessary".
Liberal Democrat shadow home secretary Brian Paddick says amendments to the policing and crime bill "are common sense measures that work for victims".
