Utfrågningar
Ett utskott får anordna utfrågningar med sakkunniga om en sådan utfrågning är nödvändig för dess arbete i ett visst ärende. Utfrågningar kan även anordnas gemensamt av två eller flera utskott. De flesta utskott anordnar regelbundna utfrågningar eftersom utfrågningarna gör det möjligt för utskotten att lyssna till sakkunniga och anordna diskussioner om viktiga ämnen. På den här sidan hittar du all tillgänglig information som rör utskottsutfrågningar, bl.a. program och inlägg från talare.
