Select Committees And The Executive

EDM number 476 in 1999-00, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 07/03/2000.

That this House warmly welcomes the first report of the Liaison Committee, published on 2nd March, which observes that the membership of select committees is effectively under the control of the Whips and that this has led on occasion to long delays in setting up committees at the start of a parliament and in replacing members thereafter and that members have been kept off committees because of their views; agrees that this is wrong in principle; and believes the implementation of the report's recommendations would strengthen parliamentary scrutiny of the Executive to the positive benefit of both.

This motion has been signed by a total of 245 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
