The Labour MPs are in red, Tories in blue and Lib Dems in orange. Chairs are in brackets.

BUSINESS (chaired by Adrian Bailey) – Luciana Berger, Jack Dromey, Chi Onwurah, Rachel Reeves. Brian Binley, Rebecca Harris, Margot James, Nicky Morgan, Nadhim Zahawi, David Ward

CULTURE, MEDIA AND SPORT (John Whittingdale) – David Cairns, Paul Farrelly, Alan Keen, Jim Sheridan, Tom Watson. Louise Bagshawe, Therese Coffey, Damian Collins, Philip Davies, Adrian Sanders Read more
