Menzies Campbell unveils new Shadow Cabinet

4.11.50pm BST (GMT +0100) Tue 3rd Jul 2007

Liberal Democrat Leader Menzies Campbell today showed his confidence in the strength of his front bench team as he unveiled his new Shadow Cabinet.

Commenting, he said:

"We are fortunate in having some of the brightest and most able people in the House of Commons. I am confident they will continue to hold the Government to account and develop Liberal Democrat policy.

"We must continue to attack Labour and the Conservatives for their cosy consensus on key issues from the environment and civil liberties to nuclear energy and the war in Iraq.

"This is a winning team which will take the fight to the other parties as we head toward the next election."
