[ Committee memberships can change partway through. ]
What are Public Bill Committees?
Previously called Standing Committees, Public Bill Commitees
study proposed legislation (Bills) in detail, debating each clause and reporting any
amendments to the Commons for further debate.
There are at least 16 MPs on a Committee, and the proportion of parties reflects
the House of Commons, so the government always has a majority.
