Standing committee (parliamentary system)

Short description: Permanent legislative panel

A standing committee is a permanent committee made up of a small number of parliamentary members appointed to analyse and opine on issues in a specific area of government, such as, for example, finance, justice, or education.[1] Its counterpart is a select committee, which is erected to investigate or solve a specific problem, and, upon conclusion, is dissolved.[2]

Standing committees exist in the British Parliament, as well as in other parliaments based on the Westminster model or those borrowing from it, such as the US,[3] Canada,[4] and India.[5]
