Select Committee on the Modernisation of the House of Commons

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Modernisation Committee)

The Select Committee on the Modernisation of the House of Commons (frequently shortened to Modernisation of the House of Commons Committee) is a select committee of the House of Commons in the Parliament of the United Kingdom that was created early in the 1997–2001, 2001–2005, 2005–2010, and 2024–present Parliaments. It ceased to exist at the end of the 2005–10 Parliament, and the Government chose not to propose its reappointment in the Parliament following the 2010 election.[1]

The Committee was first established on 4 June 1997 for the life of the Parliament (until 2001) with a remit to "consider how the practices and procedures of the House should be modernised, and to make recommendations thereon".[2] It was composed of 15 MPs and chaired by the Leader of the House of Commons. It was recreated on 16 July 2001 and 13 July 2005 on similar terms.[3][4]

Following the election of a Labour Government in July 2024, a new modernisation committee was created.[5] This committee has 14 MPs and is established on terms similar to former iterations of this committee.
