Both Houses of Parliament (the House of Commons and the House of Lords) have select committees. While select ommittees are usually made up of members of one house, some committees include members of both houses such as the Joint Committee on Human Rights. Unlock Democracy follows the work of a number of select committees and you can find articles on the reports that are relevant to our work on the select committees page.
