Privileges Committee

A Privileges Committee is a group, often within a legislative body like Parliament, that investigates and makes decisions regarding the privileges of its members. This includes issues like parliamentary immunity, misconduct, or breaches of rules. When a member is accused of wrongdoing, the committee assesses the situation, gathers evidence, and may recommend actions such as disciplinary measures. Their role is essential for maintaining integrity and accountability within the legislature, ensuring that members adhere to ethical standards while fulfilling their duties.
