Speaker's Committee

The Speaker’s Committee is involved in selecting our commissioners. It considers the candidates, and makes recommendations to the House of Commons.

Find out more about how we select our commissioners.

After a new UK Parliament is elected we submit a five-year corporate plan to the Speaker’s Committee for approval. Once agreed, it is laid in Parliament. 

For each year of the corporate plan, we submit an annual budget and corporate plan to the Speaker’s Committee. This includes an estimate of our income and spending for the year. 

The Speaker’s Committee reviews these documents and makes any necessary changes before presenting them to the House of Commons for approval.
 

The Speaker nominates an MP to answer questions from other MPs about our work.
