Opposition Deputy Chief Whip is a position in the Opposition Frontbench in the House of Lords. The office holder tends to be shared by two members,[citation needed] each responsible for supervising whips in the chamber and reporting to the Leader and Chief Whip. As is the custom in the Lords, the officeholder acts as a spokesperson, as well as their duties as a Whip. It is currently held by Labour Peer Baroness Wheeler, who acts as Labour's spokesperson for Health and Social Care.[1]
