Labour sacks committee heads |
| Two senior Labour backbenchers, with a reputation for being fiercely independent, have lost their jobs leading two influential Parliamentary committees. Gwyneth Dunwoody chaired the transport commitee throughout the last parliament - often criticising Government rail policy. Donald Anderson, a former diplomat, chaired the Foreign Affairs select committee. It too showed a degree of independence from Government. Mr Anderson has also been sacked.
