Select
Committees
These are Ad-hoc Committees and they are appointed by the Speaker
to inquire into and report to the House on a particular matter
referred to these Committees. The scope of an inquiry by these
Committees is defined by the Terms of Reference under which
they are appointed, but it may be enlarged or restricted by
the instruction of the Parliament. The Chairman and members
are appointed by the Speaker. A Select Committee consists of
not more than twelve members. But this can be increased with
the leave of Parliament. Parliament empowers these Committees
to send for persons, papers and records. |
