Women and Equalities Committee


The Women and Equalities Committee is a select committee of the House of Commons in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was established following the 2015 general election to examine the expenditure, administration and policy of the Government Equalities Office on equalities issues.
The committee has faced criticism for its name, and in 2017, Conservative MP Philip Davies said it should be renamed the "Equalities Committee".
