Committee of Selection (Hansard, 21 June 2001)

§ The Chairman of Committees

My Lords, I beg to move the second Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. Perhaps I may point out to noble Lords 27 that there is a change in the Committee of Selection. It is no longer entirely composed of the usual channels, but now includes representatives of the Back Benches from the two largest parties in the House.

Moved, That in accordance with Standing Order 63 a Committee of Selection be appointed to select and propose to the House the names of the Lords to form each Select Committee of the House (except the Committee of Selection itself and any committee otherwise provided for by statute or by order of the House) or any other body not being a Select Committee referred to it by the Chairman of Committees, and the panel of Deputy Chairmen of Committees; and that the following Lords together with the Chairman of Committees be named of the committee

L. Carter,
L. Craig of Radley,
L. Dubs,
L. Henley,
L. Rodgers of Quarry Bank,
L. Roper,
V. Slim,
L. Strathclyde,
L. Trefgarne,
L. Williams of Mostyn (Lord Privy Seal).— (The Chairman of Committees.)
