Privileges Committee to hear from Members of both Houses on select committee powers  

The Committee of Privileges will hear evidence on Tuesday from three panels of witnesses, consisting of peers and MPs including the Leader of the House, to discuss its proposals to strengthen select committee powers.

The Committee’s preliminary proposals were published earlier this year in a landmark report “Select Committees and contempts: clarifying and strengthening powers to call for persons, papers and records”. The Committee’s report addressed the matter currently referred to it by the House – that of “the exercise and enforcement of the powers of the House in relation to select committees and contempts”.
