===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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmstords/900/body.htm#122B|title=Standing Orders of the House of Commons|work=parliament.uk}}</ref> Elections are held at the beginning of a parliament or in the event of a vacancy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN04400|title=Chairs of Commons select committees since 2010|date=31 December 2021|last1=Gorb|first1=Aleksandra|work=parliament.uk}}</ref>
