The Cabinet Office website has details of all the Cabinet Committees and who sits on which.
What’s notable from the Liberal Democrat perspective is the depth of both Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander’s involvement in them. Danny sits on eight of the eleven committees whilst Nick is Chair, Co-Chair or Deputy Chair of five.
The role of Cabinet Committees has varied greatly over the years, but in a government where negotiating policy agreements is at the the heart of its day-to-day work, the committees will be more than just talking shops passing the time until the Prime Minister decides.

It’s good news that Sara Teather and Lyne Featherstone are both on the Social Justice Committee. Cabinet Committees are where the real work of government happens and Lib Dem involvement is critical to implementing our policies.
Oh – we have a majority on the Parliamentary Business and Legislation Committee (7 out of 13 members), we must be able to do something useful with that in terms of reforming Parliament.
Apologies to Sarah for mistyping her name in my previous post 🙁
