Committees

Business and Trade Committee

Commons Select Committee

The Business and Trade Committee scrutinises the policy, spending and administration of the Department for Business and Trade and its public bodies. You can follow the Committee on X (formerly Twitter) @CommonsBTC.

Our Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls scrutinises key elements of the UK Government’s economic security regime, and considers whether more needs to be done to ensure that its strategy can meet the challenges of an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape.

Previous publications on the scrutiny of International Trade can be found on the website of the International Trade Committee, which was disbanded in April 2023.
