In July 2007 Jeremy was promoted to the Shadow Cabinet by David Cameron to take on the role of Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport.

As well as the vital Olympics brief, Jeremy sees the role as having a major relevance promoting economic recovery through the creative industries, which account for over 7% of GDP. You can find out about Jeremy's front bench work on www.shadowdcms.co.uk.

Prior to his current role, Jeremy was Shadow Minister for Disabled People.  Jeremy has long had an interest in social issues and used his Shadow Ministerial position to campaign for a better deal for parents of severely disabled children and for carers. He also pressed for simplification of the highly complex benefit system and for the removal of all disincentives in the system that prevent or discourage disabled people from working.
