In March 2006 Julia joined the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury; she is a member of the Public Administration Select Committee. She is chair of the All Party rowing group and vice-chair of the Qatar group.

Julia Goldsworthy was born and brought up in Camborne, where her mother was a teacher. She won a scholarship to Truro School, and then went on to study History at Cambridge University.

After university she worked for Truro MP Matthew Taylor, researching and campaigning on local issues for the Liberal Democrat Team in Cornwall.

After a stint working with local businesses at the Business Unit of a nearby college, Julia began working for the Regeneration Team at Carrick District Council. Here she helped local businesses and organisations get the most out of Objective One, in order to create a more secure economic future for the county. And when she's not campaigning for a fair deal for Cornwall or holding local surgeries, the chances are she'll be in a gig boat, rowing for Helford River Pilot Gig Club!
