Giving evidence to a Select Committee can be a very challenging experience. But they are also opportunities to communicate directly with influential MPs or Peers and, through them, to the wider public.

Drawing on our extensive experience, Portland can help with messaging, tone and for answering the difficult questions

Our work starts when the Committee’s inquiry is first announced, monitoring the earlier evidence given at hearings and analysing what this tells us about the likely scope of questions.

Closer to your appearance, we will run realistic mock sessions so witnesses are well-prepared and messages can be tested. Portland can help you make the most of a select committee opportunity.
