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 the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to account, 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.
The position is currently held by Pat McFadden, Labour MP for Wolverhampton South East.[2] He was appointed to the role in September 2023 by Keir Starmer, succeeding Angela Rayner.[3] McFadden shadows Conservative MP and Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden.[1]
