Intelligence and Security Committee (New Zealand)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) is a statutory select committee of the New Zealand Parliament, currently governed under the Intelligence and Security Act (2017). It is the parliamentary oversight committee that manages New Zealand's intelligence agencies and examines issues relating to their efficacy and efficiency, budgetary matters, and policies.[1]
The ISC consists of the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, two or three (currently three) further MPs nominated by the Prime Minister, and two further MP nominated by the Leader of the Opposition. The committee meets much more rarely than ordinary Select Committees, however — according to some claims in 2006, for less than an hour each year.[2][3]
The following table lists the membership of the committee during the 54th Parliament:
