{{Short description|UK House of Commons select committee}}

{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}}

The House of Commons Treasury Committee (often referred to as the Treasury Select Committee) is a select committee of the House of Commons in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The committee is responsible for examining and scrutinizing the expenditure, administration and policy of HM Treasury. This includes its agencies and associated bodies, including HM Revenue and Customs, the Bank of England, the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Royal Mint.

The current chair of the Treasury Select Committee is Dame Meg Hillier MP, from the Labour Party.{{cite web |title=Dame Meg Hillier MP elected as Chair of the Treasury Committee |url=https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/158/treasury-committee/news/202829/dame-meg-hillier-mp-elected-as-chair-of-the-treasury-committee/ |website=UK Parliament |access-date=9 January 2025 |date=9 Sep 2024}} The position of chair is considered influential, as the holder of the office can scrutinize figures including the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Governor of the Bank of England, as well as bank executives.{{Cite web |last=Aldrick |first=Philip |date=2022-08-27 |title=Matt Hancock One of Six MPs Running for Treasury Committee Chair |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-27/uk-s-hancock-one-of-six-mps-running-for-treasury-committee-chair |access-date=2024-01-17 |website=Bloomberg News}}

History

The select committee was established in 1979 as the Treasury and Civil Service Committee.{{Cite web |title=Role - Treasury Committee |url=https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/158/treasury-committee/role/ |access-date=2024-01-16 |website=UK Parliament}} Since 2010, the Treasury Committee has taken on new powers, including the right to veto appointments to the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, and has forced the Financial Services Authority to publish a detailed report into its handling of the collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland.{{cite web |url= http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/60bc6cfc-4826-11e1-b1b4-00144feabdc0.html |title= Tyrie aims to bring 'Sun King' down to earth |author= George Parker |date= 26 January 2012 |publisher= FT.com |access-date= 5 May 2012 |archive-date= 31 January 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120131060009/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/60bc6cfc-4826-11e1-b1b4-00144feabdc0.html |url-status= live }}

== Valuation Office Agency (VOA) Inquiry ==

On 1 February 2019, the Treasury Committee launched an inquiry looking into the impact of business rates and any unfairness in the system of rateable valuation operated by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). The inquiry heard evidence from many businesses and trade organisations.{{Cite web |date=2019-06-24 |title=The impact of Business Rates on business inquiry |url=https://committees.parliament.uk/work/5026/the-impact-of-business-rates-on-business-inquiry/publications/ |access-date=2024-01-16 |website=UK Parliament}} The findings of this inquiry outlined that the service was broken and public confidence had been eroded. In its reply to the inquiry, February 2020, the Government promised to make changes to business rates as part of a fundamental review of the VOA.{{Cite web |date=2020-02-27 |title=Government response to Treasury Committee business rates inquiry |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-response-to-treasury-committee-business-rates-inquiry |access-date=2024-01-17 |website=GOV.UK |language=en}}
