Employment.png Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government 
(UK Shadow Cabinet)

MP in charge of shadowing the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

The Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is a position with the UK Opposition's Shadow Cabinet; if the opposition party forms a new government, the designated person is a likely choice to become the new Levelling Up Secretary.

The position has existed in many iterations, first as Environment, Transport and the Regions in 1997 after the Government's reorganisation. The portfolio shifted among government departments for many years until resting on Communities and Local Government in 2006, until 2021 when it got its current name with the added portfolio of housing; until 2021, the Shadow Communities Secretary did not hold responsibility for housing as the Labour Party created a separate position, Shadow Secretary of State for Housing, in 2016.
