Commons Select Committees

Commons Select Committees are specialized groups within the UK Parliament’s House of Commons. They examine specific areas like health, education, or defense, scrutinizing government policies, spending, and administration. Their role is to hold the government accountable by questioning ministers, reviewing evidence, and producing reports with recommendations. These committees ensure government actions are transparent, effective, and serve the public interest. Their work helps inform Parliament’s decisions and provides oversight, acting as a check on executive power to promote good governance.
