3 current inquiries
Inquiries allow committees to consider oral and written evidence on a particular topic. They usually result in the publication of a report.
Non-inquiry work
Legislative scrutiny
Legislative scrutiny focuses on a particular piece of legislation, sometimes in draft form. The committee might consider it in private, or may take evidence.
Regular evidence sessions
Some committees take evidence from certain officeholders or organisations on a regular basis outside the structure of an inquiry.
