{{Use dmy dates|date=March 2020}}{{Use British English|date=April 2023}}

The Home Affairs Select Committee is a departmental select committee of the House of Commons in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Remit

The Home Affairs Committee is one of the House of Commons select committees related to government departments: its terms of reference are to examine "the expenditure, administration, and policy of the Home Office and its associated public bodies".{{cite web |title=Role - Home Affairs Committee |url=https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/83/home-affairs-committee/role/ |access-date=28 February 2022 |work=UK Parliament |quote=The House of Commons appoints the Committee with the task of examining the expenditure, administration, and policy of the Home Office and its associated public bodies.}}

The committee chooses its own subjects of inquiry, within the overall terms of reference. It invites written evidence from interested parties and holds public evidence sessions, usually in committee rooms at the House of Commons, although it does have the power to meet away from Westminster.

At the end of each inquiry, the committee will normally agree on a report based on the evidence received. Such reports are published and made available on the internet. Reports usually contain recommendations to the government and other bodies. By convention, the government responds to reports within about two months of publication. These responses are also published.

=Election results=

From June 2010 chairs of select committees have been directly elected by a secret ballot of the whole House of Commons using the alternative vote system. Candidates with the fewest votes are eliminated and their votes redistributed until one remaining candidate has more than half of valid votes.{{cite web|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmstords/900/body.htm|title=Standing Orders of the House of Commons|website=publications.parliament.uk}}

Elections are held at the beginning of a parliament or in the event of a vacancy.{{cite web |url=https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN04400 |title=Chairs of Commons select committees since 2010 |first=Sarah |last=Priddy |date=16 October 2018 |website=researchbriefings.parliament.uk }}
