ALTRINCHAM and Sale West MP Graham Brady has been elected by fellow MPs to a newly established committee that will aim to reform the House of Commons.
The MP was among five Conservatives voted on to the committee which will look into the way the members of select committees are chosen and the way non-government business is scheduled.
It will also look into the possibility of enabling members of the public to initiate debates and proceedings in the House.
There are also moves to allow Parliament to initiate public enquiries.
The reforms are set to be the most radical since the establishment of select committees 30 years ago.
