From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Select Committee was one of nine regional select committees of the House of Commons in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The establishment of the committee was agreed by the House of Commons on 12 November 2008,[1] following the appointment of 'regional ministers' by Gordon Brown on his appointment as Prime Minister in June 2007.[2] The committee came into existence on 1 January 2009 and ceased to exist upon the dissolution of Parliament on 12 April 2010.[3][4]
The purpose of the Committee is "to examine regional strategies and the work of regional bodies" in Yorkshire and the Humber.
