The Shadow Secretary of State for Employment was an office within British politics held by a member of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. The duty of the office holder was to scrutinise the actions of the government's Secretary of State for Employment and develop alternative policies. The office was replaced by that of Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions after the creation of the Department for Work and Pensions.
