Description [ edit ]
A select committee is a special subcommittee of a legislature or assembly. Select committees exist in the British Parliament , as well as in other parliaments based on the Westminster model, such as those in Australia, Canada, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand.
They are often investigative in nature, collecting data or evidence for a law or problem, and dissolve after their findings have been reported.
These are very common in government legislatures , and are used to solve special problems, hence their name.
By country [ edit ]

There are select committees appointed by both the Australian Senate and the Australian House of Representatives .
Under Rule 125 of the Rajya Sabha Rules and Procedures, any member may move as an amendment that a bill be referred to a select committee and, if the motion is carried, the bill shall be referred to such a committee. The House decides the members of such committee.[2]
