MP voted to Work and Pensions Select Committee
24th June 2010
Harriett Baldwin was today voted onto the Work and Pensions Select Committee.
Her role in the cross-party committee was confirmed yesterday afternoon following a vote amongst Conservative backbench MPs.
Harriett, who was a pension fund manager before becoming an MP, brings a wealth of experience to the scrutiny role. Work and Pensions Secretary of State Ian Duncan Smith has described his role as a ‘once in a generation’ opportunity to reform the UK pensions and benefits.
Harriett commented: “I am delighted to be elected by my peers on to this committee which will play an important role in scrutinising the historic changes that are being made to the pensions and benefits system.”
