Following Select Committees

Departmental Select Committees have come a long way since they were established in the late 1970s - I've enjoyed following their progress. If you want information about an issue - Committee Reports are an excellent source. There are good links via https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/committees/select/ Attendance in person is possible at Westminster - but getting cheap train tickets is difficult because of the starting times. Living in Milton Keynes means pre-purchasing a very early morning ticket, or getting a coach, also at an ungodly hour - and hanging around in the Westminster area before entering by the visitos entrance. If you do go - make sure you know where the hearing is being held. Some require entrance into Portcullis House (facing the river), whilst some are via the main visitors entrance opposite Westminster Abbey. Be prepared to queue! Thankfully live & recorded broadcasts are available at https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Commons https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi18-Gc5rP_AhV9TkEAHRiBBL0Q1bUFegQIHBAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alamy.com%2Fstock-photo%2Fselect-committee.html&usg=AOvVaw1A6KO8X4ikeaOmn18JT4fa
