Committees

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.

Laurence Turner is currently a member of the following committees:

Member, Transport Committee

The Transport Committee is nominated by the House of Commons to scrutinise the Department for Transport.

Its formal remit is to hold Ministers and Departments to account, and to investigate matters of public concern where there is a need for accountability to the public through Parliament.
