Who are the Lib Dem MPs on Select Committees?

By | Sun 27th October 2024 - 1:29 pm

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

    I understand that Charlie Maynard, our MP for Witney, is also on the Business and Trade Select Cttee. But please check my data.
