The Ecclesiastical Committee examines measures affecting the Church of England, advising both Houses of Parliament on matters of doctrine, worship and church governance. It sits in the House of Lords as a joint committee with representation from both chambers, and takes oral evidence from witnesses with relevant expertise. The committee scrutinises ecclesiastical legislation before it reaches the main parliamentary timetable, providing detailed reports that inform wider debate. Recent sessions have focused on oral evidence from Kiran Kaur, who appeared before the committee on 12 November 2025 and again on 28 October 2025, though the precise nature of these inquiries cannot be determined from session titles alone. The committee's work ensures that changes to Church of England law and practice receive proper parliamentary attention before enactment.
