MPs Austin and Gapes thrown off select committee -- but not Berger (??!!) Archived Message Posted by scrabb on March 20, 2019, 12:27 pm Mr Austin and Mr Gapes will be replaced by Labour MPs Conor McGinn and Catherine West. A Labour Party spokesperson said: "Select committee and delegation places are allocated on the basis of the size of parties at the general election. "It's only right that the Labour Party fills its allocation - just as every other party does - and gives a voice to Labour voters in Parliament." Former Labour MP Chris Leslie, now a member of the Independent Group, will soon face a similar motion to remove him from the International Trade Select Committee. A Labour spokesperson said there were "no plans" to remove fellow Independent Group MP Luciana Berger from the Health and Social Care Committee. My question: Why not?
