Also, being a Cabinet committee, packed with ministers, would it actually have been of any use when Covid hit? |  |

This committee would have been of some use during Mays tenure as her cabinet consisted of experienced ministers. Johnson moved a lot of of those to the back benches when he became PM. The current shower expected to be doing Brexit only and Covid-19 is an inconvenience to them. I'm sure they will use Covid-19 as an excuse as to why Brexit will be a disaster to the economy claiming it would have been all sunny uplands and unicorns if Covid-19 hadn't happened. |  |

Mothballed by May and then scrapped by Boris. Would it have had an effect? I doubt anyone of us could answer that. The calibre of ministers in it suggests maybe not, given how they've performed and lied their way through the pandemic. Having a structure would probably be better than not though. It's all very Trumpesque. |  |

Agree that it's difficult to see how assembling any combination of the current cabinet onto a committee could produce anything other than gimmicky PR exercises, irrelevant targets, and faux-patriotic drivel. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

But maybe some civil servants would have been around to help. “Do you think we should follow up on any of the recommendations of that 2016 pandemic exercise minister?” |  | |  |

I must say I thought the same. I was annoyed until I saw the line-up. How can we be a nation of almost 70 million people and that's the best we can come up with? |  |
