PACAC membership appointed  

29 October 2024

The House of Commons has formally appointed the membership of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC).   

Each party has its own internal processes for naming its nominations to fill its seats on committees. Individual nominees put forward by political parties were agreed in the House of Commons, following a Committee of Selection meeting.  

Some committees still carry one or two vacancies which are expected to be filled shortly. 

Party seat allocations across and within committees is proportionate to the number of MPs elected to the House of Commons at the general election, with the precise number negotiated between the party whips through the Committee of Selection.  

Simon Hoare MP was elected as Chair of PACAC by all members of the House of Commons in September.   

Details of meetings and the Committee’s forward programme will be announced in due course, and one further member remains to be appointed from the Conservative Party.
