It always takes a while to set up a new Parliament’s infrastructure and with this week’s publication of Select Committee memberships, some of the 72 Liberal Democrat MPs now have another avenue to exert influence.
Select Committees are an important avenue for scrutiny of the Government by questioning and by holiding enquiries into specific areas of policy or performance.
Our status as third party gives us three Select Committee Chairs who have already been announced: Layla Moran at Health and Social Care, Alistair Carmichael at Environment and Rural Affairs and Jamie Stone on the Petitions Committee.
So which Committees will have Liberal Democrat representation? Here are the ones announced so far and we’ll update as more news comes out.
Welsh Affairs Committee: David Chadwick MP
Defence Committee: Ian Roome MP
Women and Equalities Committee: Alex Brewer MP
Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee: Lee Dillon MP
Business and Trade Committee: Joshua Reynolds MP
Home Affairs Committee: Ben Maguire MP, Paul Kohler MP
Public Accounts Committee: Rachel Gilmour MP
Culture, Media and Sport Committee: Liz Jarvis MP
Treasury Committee: Bobby Dean MP
Education Committee: Caroline Voaden MP
Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee: Luke Taylor MP
Scottish Affairs Committee: Susan Murray MP
Science, Innovation and Technology Committee: Tom Gordon MP
Transport Committee: Steff Aquarone MP
