Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons Written Evidence

Adam Afriyie MP (M 21)

  As a relative newcomer to Parliament, my experience is of only part of the parliamentary cycle; however, my advice would be to ensure that consistent times and days of the week are set for both select committees and standing committees. A consistent programme of work makes it a lot easier to ensure that scrutiny and investigation is more competently achieved because one can settle into a pattern of work and diarising of upcoming events.
