Three senior Leave campaigners who were sacked by Theresa May have been elected to sit on a powerful new Brexit select committee.

Michael Gove, the former Justice Secretary, John Whittingdale, the former Culture Secretary, and Dominic Raab, a former justice minister, were all elected to the committee, which will scrutinise the Government as it negotiates Brexit.

David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, will be regularly questioned by the committee.
