The Ad Hoc Committee is appointed by the House of Commons to perform various duties on behalf of the House of Commons, including supervising the work of various government departments and making suggestions on the procedures and administrative management of the House of Commons. The Committee's findings and recommendations are submitted to the House of Commons in the form of a written report.

Departmental ad hoc Committee

1979 The establishment of a series of departmental ad hoc committees since the reform of the British House of Commons is the highest achievement in the construction of the supervisory committee of the House of Commons. Functionally, the departmental committee is the most important body in the committee of the House of Commons to supervise all government departments.

By1February 1998, there were 16 departmental ad hoc committees in the House of Commons, and each committee had its own clear supervision object. For example, the Finance Committee supervises the Ministry of Finance, the Internal Revenue Service, the Customs and the Internal Revenue Service; National defense commission, responsible for supervising the Ministry of National Defense; Committee on Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for supervising the Foreign and Commonwealth Office; Committee on Agriculture, which supervises the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food; Wait a minute. According to the standing rules of procedure, the ad hoc committees of various departments are responsible for inspecting the expenditures, administration and policies of major government counterparts and their relevant public institutions. The committee's supervision over the corresponding government departments is all-round, including finance, work and policies, etc., but the ad hoc committees of each department are not responsible for reviewing bills, which embodies the principle that the functions of the legislative committee and the supervisory committee of the lower house committee are set separately.
