We tried as much as possible to allocate each Member a Committee they had shown interest in, but the slots were very few. You remember that in the last Parliament we had a committee membership of 29. The numbers have been reduced from 29 to 19. The reduction has affected the membership of committees. If a Member is placed in one departmental committee, he would be very lucky to be placed in another one - It is next to impossible. This is actually the first list. We will rationalize it and make it better. When we come back from recess, we will come up with a better list that takes care of the interests of everyone."}
