In the latest episode of EG's political podcast, senior writer Piers Wehner and former housing minister Mark Prisk head to Westminster to meet Labour MP Clive Betts.
Betts has been chair of the House of Commons' Levelling Up select committee for 12 years, investigating and assessing the work of the government department in its numerous guises.
In that time he has challenged policy, honed legislation and grilled innumerable ministers - including Prisk!
But can the select committee ever really hope to influence legislation? And what will it investigate next?
