2.45 pm - Richard Aldritt, Head of Assessment and board member of the UK Statistics Authority
3.15 pm - Lord Adonis, Secretary of State for Transport
Lousie Ellman MP, Chairman of the Committee, said:
"When the Secretary of State sits in the House of Lords, we do not have the opportunity to question him in the House of Commons Chamber. It is important that MPs should have the opportunity to question the Secretary of State for a major spending Department such as Transport, and the Transport Committee has therefore decided to hold regular Transport Question sessions. Lord Adonis has been very supportive in facilitating this new model of select committee scrutiny, and we look forward to our Transport Questions sessions with him."
