London_Regional_Select_Committee
The London Regional Select Committee was one of nine regional select committee of the House of Commons in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The establishment of the committee was agreed by the House of Commons on 25 June 2009,[1] following the establishment of regional select committees for the eight other regions of England in November 2008,[2] and the appointment of 'regional ministers' by Gordon Brown on his appointment as Prime Minister in June 2007.[3] The committee came into existence on 1 January 2009 and ceased to exist upon the dissolution of Parliament on 12 April 2010.[4][5]
The purpose of the committee, which was slightly different from the remit of the other regional select committees, was "to examine the Government’s regional policies for London and the Government’s relationship with the Greater London Authority and regional bodies".[1]
