There is no way a parliamentary committee made up of elected MPs is not the government.

The knots you have to tie yourself in to make this OK should tell you something.

Hey sorry in the UK "the government" or HMG refers to the PM and the cabinet. Some random MP wouldn't be referred to as "the government". So I am not tied in knots, thanks for your concern, there's absolutely no sense in which some random MP out of 600 would be referred to as "the government"
