Practice Guide 6: Arrangements for committees and task and finish groups
This guide is about membership of scrutiny committees andinformal scrutiny “task and finish” groups. It looks at four distinct issues –the use of co-optees (at committee, and as members of T&F groups), minority party chairing, membership of T&F groups and having “Cabinet assistants” as members of scrutiny committees. It also covers political management/whipping.
