Defence Select Committee

Stuart Anderson MP Defence Select Committee

I was elected as the Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton South West in December 2019. Within a few weeks, I had been elected by fellow parliamentarians to the Defence Select Committee which examines the expenditure, administration, and policy of the Ministry of Defence and its associated bodies. On the Committee, I have held the Secretary of State for Defence and senior officials to account on the work that they have done and I have worked with colleagues to produce reports which have in turn shaped Government policy on areas such as the security of our 5G network. I also serve on the Sub-Committee and on the Parliamentary NATO Delegation.
