1922 Committee

The 1922 Committee, formally known as the Conservative Private Members' Committee, is the Parliamentary group of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons. The committee, consisting of all Conservative backbench members of Parliament, meets weekly while Parliament is in session and provides a way for backbenchers to co-ordinate and discuss their views independently of frontbenchers. Its executive membership and officers are by consensus limited to backbench MPs; however, since 2010, frontbench Conservative MPs have an open invitation to attend meetings.
