3From 1 January 1966 the committee was reappointed at the beginning of each Parliament rather than at the beginning of each session. From this point, the date range refers to the Parliament rather than the session.

4Membership increased by one from 22/3/1972.

5From 22/10/1981 these office holders became ex officio members of the committee.
