The effect of recent changes to group membership on committees Minutes: Caroline
Jones explained that the Brexit Party group had not taken up the 5th
Committee seat offered to them as none of the Brexit Party group Members wanted
to sit on more than one Committee. Business Managers noted that some Members of
other groups sit on at least two committees. Business
Managers agreed to table the relevant motions to remove Labour, Conservative
and Plaid Cymru Members from committees, to reduce the size of the seven
eight-Member policy and legislation committees to six Members each. They also
agreed to table motions to elect Michelle Brown to the Petitions Committee,
Neil Hamilton to Climate Change Environment and Rural Affairs Committee and
Gareth Bennett to Public Accounts Committee. Business
Managers considered a proposal to reduce the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs
Committee’s membership down to 4 Members, and agreed to return to the matter at
next week’s meeting following consultation with groups. |
