1. A select committee is a committee consisting of 15 main
members from different parties. It's job is to keep the Government
in check and to monitor their many departments. A select committee
can monitor Government, ensuring they are held accountable for
their actions. It can also embarrass the Government by scrutinizing
them, often via reports which suggest appropriate changes that
should be taken and the Government must consider this advice.
2. They are panels set up for some specific purpose and, most
often, for a limited time. The Speaker of the House or the
president of the senate appoints the members of theses special
committees, with the advice of the majority and minority

Most select committes are formed to investigate a current
