Public Accounts Committee
I previously served as a member of the Public Accounts Committee, a cross-party select committee responsible for holding government officials to account over all areas of government expenditure. This includes a huge range of issues – anything from how it spends money on building new homes, what it’s doing about the shortage of nurses in the NHS, or how it plans to develop our broadband infrastructure. You can read more about the committee here, or you can see what I did as a member of this committee below.
