The elected MP takes up their position as chair of the committee when the remaining members of the committee have been appointed by the House.
The new Chair, Dame Meg Hillier MP, said:
“It is a privilege to become Chair of the Treasury Committee. I look forward to working with my fellow MPs to scrutinise the actions of this country’s most prominent financial institutions over the course of the next parliament.
“During my nine-year tenure leading the Public Accounts Committee, I learned a thing or two about the mistakes governments can make with taxpayers’ money. I will work day-in and day-out, as Chair of the Treasury Committee, to ensure His Majesty’s Treasury and its affiliated public bodies are managing the public finances in the best interests of the British public.”
