Frontbench Team of Angus Robertson

The list that follows is the Shadow Cabinet led by Angus Robertson from 2015 to present, after the Scottish National Party (SNP) won 56 of the 59 seats that they contested at the 2015 general election, making them the third-largest party in the UK Parliament. The Frontbench Team consists exclusively of Members of the House of Commons, since the SNP has a policy of not appointing peers to the House of Lords.
