Foreign Affairs Committee: membership change

What this vote was about

This was a vote to change the membership of the Foreign Affairs Committee, a cross-party group of MPs that scrutinises the work of the Foreign Office. The motion, brought by the Committee of Selection, removed Ian Austin and Mike Gapes and added Conor McGinn and Catherine West. Austin and Gapes had recently left the Labour Party (Gapes to join The Independent Group), and the change was framed as keeping committee places roughly in proportion to the parties in the Commons. MPs approved the reshuffle by 199 votes to 134.

"Party position" is how the majority of each party's voting members voted in this division. Parliament does not publish official whipping instructions, so this is derived from the recorded votes. "Rebels" are members who voted against their party's majority; Independent and Speaker roles have no party whip.
