- Two supporting committees, one dealing with all aspects of services for members to be called the 'Services Committee'; the other a Finance Committee
- Three new posts: a chair for each of the Services Committee and the Finance Committee, and a new role entitled Senior Deputy Speaker, to replace the Chairman of Committees.
