The shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is a position in the British Shadow Cabinet, appointed by the leader of the Opposition. The post involves holding to account the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, who has control over the estates and rents of the Duchy of Lancaster.[1] The position was re-established by Keir Starmer in April 2020, replacing the position of shadow lord president of the council last held by Jon Trickett, which was split from shadow leader of the House of Commons by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
