‘The following candidates have been elected unopposed as select committee chairs: – Culture, Media and Sport: Mr John Whittingdale – International Development: Malcolm Bruce – Justice: Sir Alan Beith – Northern Ireland: Mr Laurence Robertson – Procedure: Mr Greg Knight – Scottish Affairs: Mr Ian Davidson – Transport: Mrs Louise Ellman – Welsh Affairs: David T. C. Davies The following candidates have been elected as select committee chairs by secret ballot, under the Alternative Vote system: – Business, Innovation and Skills: Mr Adrian Bailey – Children, Schools and Families (Education): Mr Graham Stuart – Communities and Local Government: Mr Clive Betts – Defence: Mr James Arbuthnot – Energy and Climate Change: Mr Tim Yeo – Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Miss Anne McIntosh – Environmental Audit: Joan Walley – Foreign Affairs: Richard Ottaway – Health: Mr Stephen Dorrell – Home Affairs: Keith Vaz – Political and Constitutional Reform: Mr Graham Allen – Public Accounts: Margaret Hodge – Public Administration: Mr Bernard Jenkin – Science and Technology: Andrew Miller – Treasury: Mr Andrew Tyrie – Work and Pensions: Miss Anne Begg’

Certainly, there will be reservations over Vaz and Hodge; but, from what I hear, both are adept and will hold the government to account.
