Working with UK Parliament Select Committees

Join us for an insightful talk and Q&A with:

• Rosemary Hill, Committee Specialist, Commons Education Select Committee, UK Parliament
• Emily MacLeod, IOE Doctoral Candidate and UKRI Secondee at the Education Select Committee in 2021.

Much of the work of the UK House of Commons or House of Lords takes place in committees. There is a Commons Select Committee for each government department, examining three aspects: spending, policies and administration.

These departmental committees have a minimum of 11 members, who decide upon the line of inquiry and then gather written and oral evidence. Findings are reported to the Commons, printed, and published on the Parliament website. The government then usually has 60 days to reply to the committee's recommendations.

This interactive session consists of a brief introduction of the work of Select Committees, before sharing inside knowledge on how best to translate research findings into actionable recommendations that are included in their evidence reports, and launching into a Q&A session. Audience members are free to submit questions prior to and during the session.
