Shadow Secretary of State for the Home Office

In Atlantean politics the Shadow Secretary of State for the Home Office is the person within the shadow cabinet who 'shadows' the Secretary of State for the Home Office; this effectively means scrutinising government policy on home affairs including policing, national security, immigration, the criminal justice system, the prison service, and matters of citizenship.

If the opposition party is elected to government, the Shadow Secretary of State for the Home Office often becomes the new Secretary of State for the Home Office though this is not always the case.

Following the resignation of Reece Lingard, the position was merged with the Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and Attorney General to create the position of Shadow Secretary of State for Home Affairs, Justice and Attorney General which is currently held by Alfonso Auciello.
