Motion on behalf of the Committee of SelectionMonday, 8 June 2026

Environmental Audit Committee

This is a procedural motion to appoint or reappoint members to the Environmental Audit Committee, a select committee responsible for scrutinising environmental policy and holding the government to account on climate, nature, and sustainability issues. The motion, sponsored by Labour MP Jessica Morden, will be debated in the main chamber on 8 June 2026.

Select committee memberships are procedural but consequential: they determine which MPs will lead parliamentary scrutiny of environmental policy over the coming parliamentary session. The Environmental Audit Committee's composition affects the quality and direction of oversight on net-zero targets, environmental regulation, and climate adaptation—issues that touch every sector of the economy and every part of the country.
