What are Parliamentary Committees?

The parliamentary committee is a committee which is appointed or elected by the House or nominated by the Speaker.
It works under the direction of the Speaker and presents its report to the House or to the Speaker and the Secretariat.

Different types of committees:

‘Standing’ committees: They are usually reconstituted on an annual basis.
- It is a permanent and regular committee which is constituted from time to time according to the provisions of an Act of Parliament or Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business
- They are further divided into financial committees and departmentally-related standing committees (DRSCs).
- The three financial committees are the Public Accounts Committee, the Estimates Committee and the Committee on Public Undertakings.
‘Select’ committees are formed for a specific purpose. That select committee ceases to exist once the Bill is disposed of.
