Harman holds a position in government as a what?

  • Lord Chancellor

  • Backbencher

  • Cabinet Minister

  • Party Whip

Answer

A backbencher is a member of a legislature who sits on the back benches, typically those farthest from the presiding officer. These individuals usually have less influence and visibility compared to those seated closer to the front. They may still actively participate in debates and voting, but they often lack leadership positions or significant roles in shaping policies.
