UK Parliament Select Committees

UK Parliament Select Committees are specialized groups of Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of the House of Lords that scrutinize government actions, policies, and departments. They investigate issues, gather evidence from experts and the public, and hold inquiries to ensure accountability and transparency. Their work helps inform Parliament’s decisions and keeps the government answerable to the public. Each committee focuses on a specific area, such as health, education, or finance. Overall, they play a vital role in making government more effective and responsible.
