Earlier this week, Kady hosted an interesting discussion on the make-up of parliamentary committees given the number of MPs from each party in the HOC. I wonder if Casey's return (assuming that he is returning) will give the Tories their long-sought committee Majority?
Update for NN readers:
Recapping Kadey's math
143 MPS + Casey = 144 MPS= 46.7% of House Seats.
12 (standard committee size) x 0.467 = 5.6 members per committee, if these are allocated in proportion to HOC seats.
5.6 rounded up gives 6 seats per committee. Where the committee is chaired a Member of an opposition party, that is a limited majority.
