Transport Committee
Welcome to the homepage of the Transport Committee.
The Transport Committee is charged by the House of Commons with scrutiny of the Department for Transport. Its formal remit is to examine the expenditure, administration and policy of the Department for Transport and its associated public bodies.
Within its terms of reference, the Committee chooses its own subjects of inquiry and seeks evidence from a wide range of groups and individuals. Once the Committee has chosen an inquiry it normally issues a press notice outlining the main themes of the inquiry and inviting interested parties to submit written evidence. The Committee may also directly invite particular witnesses to submit written or oral evidence.
