The House Magazine is extremely proud to announce the publication of its third comprehensive Select Committee Guide, providing a detailed insight into the enquiries and business of the House of Commons committee system.
Distributed with The House Magazine the Guide includes contributions from the Commons Select Committee Chairs.
To celebrate its launch The House Magazine hosted a lunchtime reception on the House of Commons Terrace on 28 April 2009.
Jenny Willott MP opened the speeches as Associate Editor of The House Magazine and Life President, Sir Patrick Cormack MP, also spoke on the occasion. An audience of MPs, Peers and the public affairs community also listened to three prestigious Select Committee Chairs speak about their experiences in Parliament.
Rt Hon Malcolm Bruce MP
Chair, International Development Select Committee
Dr Phyllis Starkey MP
Chair, Communities and Local Government Select Committee
Rt Hon James Arbuthnot MP
Chair, Defence Select Committee
"There is such a wide range of work done by select committees that even those of us who serve on one of them don’t always appreciate the breadth of expertise and detailed work which goes on. This guide helps me to better understand Select Committee work and use their findings in my work as an MP."
Gisela Stuart MP,
Editor of The House Magazine
