Hove MP appointed to Commons Justice Committee

The Conservative MP for Hove Mike Weatherley has been appointed to the House of Commons Justice Select Committee.

The Justice Committee examines the spending, administration and policy of the Ministry of Justice and associated public bodies.

Mr Weatherley has worked with the Ministry of Justice since becoming an MP, particularly as he tried to change the law to criminalise squatting in houses and flats.

He has also had contact with the committee through his work as a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Retail Crime.

He said: “I am honoured to serve on the Justice Select Committee.

“The oversight carried out by committees such as this is just one of the important roles that MPs undertake in order to instil public confidence in our national institutions.

“I look forward to working with this group of cross-party colleagues as it carries out its scrutiny role.”
