A LOCAL MP has been elected to a role on a House of Commons committee.
Sarah Edwards, representative for the Tamworth constituency – which covers areas such as Fazeley, Shenstone and Stonnall – will stit on the Business and Trade Select Committee.
The group of MPs are responsible for scrutinising the Department for Business and Trade and its public bodies.
The Labour MP said:
“I am proud to have been elected onto the committee and I look forward to working with colleagues.”
Trade, a young ex Public Service union conveyer, never been involved with industry or trade on yet another pointless expensive commite to tell industry professionals now to trade.
Sounds typical Labour and this is only the start.
There seems to be a lack of understanding of the role of selicect committees.
The committee is to scrutinise the policy, spending and administration of the relevant department and its public bodies.
This system started in 1979. Who was in government then?
