The Storting's Committees (i_stortingskomite)

Overview of the parliamentary committees. Also included are activities that are known, but which may still not be part of the committee structure, such as, for example, ‘Stortingets delegasjon til NATOs parlamentariske forsamling’.

Consecutive number (kode)

Continuous internal identifier. Is mandatory and unique. Example: The Standing Committee on Energy and the Environment is 180.

In corresponding earlier tables in Polsys, some committee codes collide with each other. Applies to codes 1,2,3,4,11,12,13,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,41,42,43, 44,45,46,51,52,53,54,55,61 and 62. The more general committee designations in 1814-1905 have been allowed to keep their codes, while the codes in the 1905-1940 series have received an addition of 400. For example, 'SCIENCE COMM. (general)' was allowed to keep code 30, while the 'Church and School Committee' changed from 30 to 430.

Further follow-up

The table needs a manual review. Before 1945, Polsys often registered committees as the one that fit best from the 34 committees that were listed in the table DOK_pol_komite . This led, for example, to the Finance and Customs Committee, which existed 1919-1921 and 1934-1967, having members since 1883. The Storting has an excellent overview (in Norwegian) of committees and members after 1945:
