Select Committee memberships
The Business Committee has agreed the allocation of MPs on each select committee. They are:
- Economic Development, Science and Innovation 4 Govt/4 Opp
- Education and Workforce 5/4
- Environment 5/4
- Finance and Expenditure 6/5
- Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade 4/3
- Governance and Administration 4/3
- Health 5/4
- Justice 6/5
- Māori Affairs 4/4
- Petitions 2/2
- Primary Production 4/3
- Regulations Review 3/2
- Social Services and Community 5/4
- Transport and Infrastructure 4/3
So the Government has a majority on all bar Economic Development and Maori Affairs. Of course National has a majority on none of them, so select committees hopefully will be more independent of the Government than previously.
