I have to report to the House that on 6, 8 and 17 December 2021 I received advice from the Chief Government Whip nominating changes in the membership of certain committees. In accordance with standing order 229(b), as the House was not expected to sit for several weeks the appointments became effective on those dates.

():

by leave—I move:

That:

(1) Mr Sharma, Mr Simmonds, Dr Webster and Mrs Wicks be appointed members of the Select Committee on Social Media and Online Safety on 6 December 2021;

(2) Ms Flint be appointed a member of the Select Committee on Social Media and Online Safety on 8 December 2021, and discharged on 21 December 2021 and that, in her place, Ms Hammond be appointed a member of the committee; and

(3) Ms Bell be appointed a member of the Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs on 17 December 2021.

Question agreed to.
