Description:... In 1979 the British House of Commons replaced most of its all-party select committees with fourteen new ones charged with overseeing the policy and administration of the major government departments. Revised and updated to include the work of the committees since 1983 and their role in the second Parliament, this second edition provides an in-depth look at the effects of this important parliamentary reform.
