Explanation:

Public Accounts Committee

Until 1966–67, the chairman of the committee belonged to the ruling party; i.e. the chairman of the committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst its members. However, since 1967 a convention has developed whereby the chairman of the committee is selected invariably from the Opposition.
