Some committees focus on checking the government’s decisions and spending, while others investigate specific topics and proposed legislation.

Member, Scottish Affairs Committee

The Scottish Affairs Committee scrutinises the expenditure, administration and policies of the Scotland Office, and its associated bodies.

The Committee also examines the wider UK Government, to assess policies and legislation that lead to direct impacts on Scotland.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs)

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal cross-party groups made up of MPs and Peers who share an interest in a particular country or subject.

They do not have formal powers or funding, but can book rooms on the parliamentary estate and may receive funding from outside organisations and companies.
