Election of chairs and members
Committee chairs were elected by a secret ballot of all MPs in July 2017. The members of committees are then selected by their parties through an internal ballot, for agreement by the House.
The allocation of chairs and the membership of select committees broadly reflects the balance of political parties in the House.
