The Committee aims to make the Commons matter more, increase its vitality and rebalance its relationship with the executive, and to give the public a greater voice in parliamentary proceedings. In the first two chapters the Committee sets out the wider background to its establishment in July 2009; seeks a prompt debate and decision on its proposals and their phased implementation; and describes the principles that have guided its work. The Committee recommends that the Chairs of departmental and similar select committees be directly elected by secret ballot of the House using the alternative vote. The distribution of individual chairs between parties should be agreed as now by the parties, on the basis of a proportionate division conveyed to them by the Speaker, and put to the House for its agreement. Candidates for chairs would be required to have a minimum level of support from within their party as well as being free to demonstrate support from other Members. The Committee recommends that members of departmental and similar committees should be elected from within party groups by secret ballot, each party choosing its own publicly declared method approved by the Speaker as democratic and transparent, and that the names then be transmitted to the House for its endorsement. The Committee also recommends (a) a reduction in the size of a standard departmental committee to not more than 11, with the possibility of adding members to provide for smaller party representation, and a reduction in the overall number of committees (b) a Standing Order ensuring the election of members and Chairs of select committees within six weeks of the Queen’s Speech (c) the election by the House of the Chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee. It is the Committee’s hope that these changes, to be implemented from the start of the new Parliament but requiring agreement in the last session of this Parliament, will invigorate select committees, leading to higher levels of attendance and participation, and that with other measures described they will help ensure that the work of select committees is more adequately reflected in the work of the House and on the agenda of public debate. |
