Select Committees

Select Committees are small groups within a legislative body, such as Parliament, that focus on specific issues or areas of policy. They investigate matters, gather evidence, and scrutinize government actions related to their designated topics, providing recommendations and reports. These committees play a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability by examining proposed laws, government spending, and public concerns. Members are typically drawn from different political parties, allowing for a range of perspectives. Their findings can influence public policy and inform decisions made by the entire legislative assembly.
