To ask the Prime Minister what changes he has made in the composition of the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee. [81680]

Members are traditionally Privy Counsellors who are not members of the Government. Following the resignation of Lord Pym, I have appointed the Lord Hurd of Westwell to be a member of the Committee. He will join Lord Thomson of Monifieth and Baroness Dean of Thornton-le-Fylde. Lord Thomson has been appointed to chair the Committee.
