Reshuffle for Lib Dems
THE Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, reshuffled his front-bench team yesterday.
Three MPs who quit the front-bench earlier this year to vote in favour of a referendum on the EU's Lisbon treaty make a return –
Alistair Carmichael (Orkney and Shetland) to the Scotland and Northern Ireland brief, Tim Farron to environment, food and rural affairs, and David Heath to lead a commission on privacy.
In other changes, Steve Webb, the former environment spokesman, will shadow the new energy and climate change department, and Sarah Teather moves from business to housing. Her old business portfolio goes to John Thurso (Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross).
