Surely this is not the time to summon ministers to appear before YC's committee of nobodies when the government is busy dealing with the crisis. There is a daily press conference and everything they need to know is in the meeja x N. So what's she playing at?

I can't think of any reason why PP, ( not you Peter,) would not appear before the HAC, after all, the system of committees is an integral part of government, and scrutiny is an important part of democracy.
PP, (still not you Peter,) has it as part of her remit to conform to parliamentary procedure, and whatever else she is doing, it is of secondary importance to this.
What do you think of that PP? (No not you Priti.)

It is very odd that she hasn't appeared at any of the daily briefings.
All the other major (and one or two minor) member of the cabinet have done so.
And to appear before the committee at the current time, she wouldn't even have to leave her house if she was at home. She certainly wouldn't have to leave her office.

Much of the work of the House of Commons and the House of Lords takes place in committees, made up of around 10 to 50 MPs or Lords. These committees examine issues in detail, from government policy and proposed new laws, to wider topics like the economy.
The Home Affairs Committee consists of 11 Members of Parliament, drawn from the three largest political parties. The House of Commons appoints the Committee with the task of examining the expenditure, administration, and policy of the Home Office and its associated public bodies.
The Home Affairs Committee is undertaking a short inquiry into the Home Office’s preparations for and response to Covid-19 (Coronavirus). The Deadline for giving evidence is 21 April 2020.
Ms Patel, as head of the Home Office can be held accountable by any of her fellow MPs but particularly a House Committee. She is showing contempt for parliament and is contemptuous of other Members of Parliament.
Cooper, as head of the Home Affairs Committee is inviting Patel to give evidence of how prepared the Home Office is for coronavirus, and to tell how appropriate she believes the Government have acted. All evidence from whoever wants to contribute has to be submitted by April 21st. Patel is effectively telling the Committee, whose job is to scrutinise her Department, to get stuffed, and she will turn up at a later date after the deadline has closed.
