Owen to Shore date
[edit]I have started discussions at Talk:David Owen and Talk:Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change in relation to when David Owen left the post of Shadow Foreign Secretary, as for reasons outlined on those pages I think the 14th July date is an error and it should be 14th June 1979.Dunarc (talk) 23:35, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Rippon to Maudling change in 1975 - date issue
[edit]I do not think the change happened on 11 February as stated here. this was the date of the second ballot of the 1975 Conservative Party leadership election which resulted in Margaret Thatcher becoming leader. However Margaret Thatchers memoirs imply that she chaired Heath's shadow cabinet that evening and the new shadow cabinet was appointed the next day. Equally The Glasgow Herald for the morning of 12 September indicates that Rippon was still in position, but there was doubt that he would serve under Thatcher and touted Willie Whitelaw as his likely replacement (See here). This would seem to suggest that the change could not have taken place until 12 February at the earliest and so Reginald Maudling was not in position on 11 February as stated here.

Conflict with Alec Douglas Home article
[edit]As I noted some time ago at Talk:Alec Douglas-Home, there seems to be a major conflict between this article and the relevant section of the Alec Douglas-Home article and this one as to who was Shadow Foreign Secretary at various points between 1965 and 1970.
