Shabana Mahmood is Labour's new higher education spokeswoman

Labour's new BIS team is shaping up like this:

Shadow Business Secretary - Chuka Umanna

Shadow science spokeswoman - Chi Onwurah (continuing the role she had before)

Shadow higher education spokeswoman - Shabana Mahmood, MP for Birmingham Ladywood

Other MPs on the team: Ian Wright, Toby Perkins, Ian Murray, Gordon Marsden.

Leading in the Lords: Wilf Stevenson and Tony Young continue.

So Mahmood, elected in 2010 and pictured left, replaces Gareth Thomas in the universities brief.

Thanks to my Research Fortnight colleague Miriam Frankel for the update.

I must say that I enjoyed scanning this piece. I stumbled across it today and thought it was interesting. I have a feeling other people will pretty much share your opinion about this matter. I plan to come back when I find some free time so I can view more. I was just calling my brother about it, so this read was perfect. I will link to this blog and subscribe to the feed as well. Thanks again.
