Departmental Select Committees

EDM number 20 in 1992-93, proposed by Graham Allen on 06/05/1992.

That this House calls for the immediate establishment of the departmental select committees so that Parliament can exercise its constitutional duty to hold Government to account and scrutinise its activities; and calls upon the House to ensure that in the future the establishment of select committees within one month of an election should become the duty of the Speaker under standing orders.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
