I have to report to the House that, on 21 August 2026, I received advice from the Chief Government Whip nominating members to be members of the Selection Committee. In accordance with standing order 229(b), as the House was not expected to sit for several weeks, the appointments became effective on that date. I now call the minister to move a motion to resolve the membership of that committee.

by leave—I move:

That Ms Comer, Ms Stanley and Ms Thwaites be discharged from the Selection Committee and that, in their place, Ms Chesters, Ms Mascarenhas and Ms Roberts be appointed members of the committee.

Question agreed to.
