Conclusion
27. With the decision of the House of 14 May
to invite the Liaison Committee to establish common objectives
for select committees,[39]
and the subsequent issue by the Liaison Committee of guidance
to departmental select committees on objectives and core tasks,
the departmental report is likely to assume greater prominence
in committees' work. We shall therefore be seeking the views of
departmental committees on the 2002 departmental reports and on
whether any improvements are needed in future years. We shall
look closely at the new autumn material, and invite committees
to give a view on this also in due course.
