Second Frontbench Team of Vince Cable (original) (raw)

On 20 July 2017, Sir Vince Cable became Leader of the Liberal Democrats after facing no competition. He was the oldest leader of a major UK political party since Sir Winston Churchill. Upon taking office Cable made no significant reshuffle to his Frontbench Team, so the line-up remained much as it was inherited from Tim Farron. Cable later completed his first reshuffle a few weeks after the Party's 2017 Autumn Conference. Cable previously served as Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats following the resignation of Menzies Campbell in 2007.
