Danny Alexander MP has been appointed the Liberal Democrat Shadow Social Exclusion Secretary.

He will replace Matthew Taylor MP in the Liberal Democrat Shadow Cabinet, who yesterday announced he will stand down at the next election.

Mr Alexander said:

"I am delighted to have been appointed to this position. Britain faces a huge challenge in tackling poverty and social exclusion.

"The Government's policies are bogged down in mass means-testing and bureaucracy, creating dependency not opportunity.

"The Liberal Democrats are the only party that puts fairness and opportunity for all at the top of the agenda, and I look forward to taking the fight to the Government on these critically important questions."
