CMS Committee membership appointed
October 29, 2024
By Colin Mann
The UK House of Commons has formally appointed the membership of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
Each party has its own internal processes for naming its nominations to fill its seats on committees. Individual nominees put forward by political parties were agreed in the House of Commons, following a Committee of Selection meeting. Some committees still carry one or two vacancies which are expected to be filled shortly.
Party seat allocations across and within committees is proportionate to the number of MPs elected to the House of Commons at the general election, with the precise number negotiated between the party whips through the Committee of Selection.
Dame Caroline Dinenage was elected unopposed as Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee by all members of the House of Commons in September 2024.
Details of meetings and the Committee’s forward programme will be announced in due course.
The following Members of Parliament have been appointed:
| Name | Party |
| Dame Caroline Dinenage [Chair] | Conservative |
| Bayo Alaba | Labour |
| Mims Davies | Conservative |
| Zöe Franklin | Liberal Democrat |
| James Frith | Labour |
