In the UK Parliament, committees are groups of MPs or Peers who examine specific issues in more detail than can be done in debates.
Some committees focus on checking the government’s decisions and spending, while others investigate specific topics and proposed legislation.
Liam Byrne is currently a member of the following committees:
When a Government Department lays a National Policy Statement before the House, Standing Order No.
152H requires the National Policy Statements sub-Committee of the Liaison Committee to meet to decide to either refer the Statement to an existing Departmental Committee, or to establish a dedicated Committee to consider the policy statement.
The sub-Committee’s decisions can be found in theLiaison Committee’s Formal minutes.
The Sub-Committee was established to scrutinise key elements of the UK Government’s economic security regime, and consider whether more needs to be done to ensure that its strategy can meet the challenges of an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape.
The Sub-Committee will also take forward the Business and Trade Committee’s responsibilities for scrutiny of government investment screening decisions taken under National Security and Investment Act, and arms exports licensed under the Export Control Act.
