Commons Select Committee on Standards

The Commons Select Committee on Standards is appointed by the House of Commons to oversee the work of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

It came into being on 7 January 2013 as one half of the replacements for the Committee on Standards and Privileges. The latter committee was divided into the Committee on Standards and Committee of Privileges in order that the Standards Committee might employ lay members.

As each Committee is dissolved at the end of each Commons session, as at June 2015, the Committee's only member is its Chair, Kevin Barron, with other members to be elected.[1]
