Pro-Remain campaigner Hilary Benn has been named the chair of the new cross-party Brexit committee.
Labour's former shadow foreign secretary - who was sacked by Jeremy Corbyn for disloyalty - won the position over Labour prominent Leave supporter Kate Hoey.
Mr Benn will be charged with leading the extra-large committee that will scrutinise the work of David Davis' Brexit department
To be made up of 21 MPs, including 10 Tories and MPs from six opposition parties, it will be almost double the size of the average committee of 11 members.
But the Institute for Government (IfG) has already warned that the size of the Brexit committee could hamper its ability to question witnesses and to make it difficult to achieve consensus.
It also claimed that there are too many competing parliamentary inquiries into the process of leaving the European Union.
Speaker John Bercow announced the results of five vacant select committee chairs in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Labour's Yvette Cooper was named the new chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, replacing party colleague Keith Vaz who stood down after being embroiled in a rent boy scandal.
Former cabinet minister Ms Cooper shared a kiss on the cheek with Labour's Chuka Umunna, who missed out on the position.
Tory MP Damian Collins was named as the new chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, while fellow Tory MP Stephen Metcalfe was named chair of the Science and Technology Committee.
Angus MacNeil was confirmed as the chair of the International Trade Committee, the only nominee for the SNP's allocated committee.
Nominations closed on Tuesday, and elections for the four contested positions were held by secret ballot on Wednesday.
MPs on the Tory benches booed in mock protest when Mr Bercow announced the ballot had been counted using the alternative vote system.
