# Commissioners of the Committee of Public Safety

The Commissioners of the Committee of Public Safety (French: Commissions exécutives) were appointed by the French Committee of Public Safety to oversee the various administrative departments between 1 April 1794 and 1 November 1795.

## History

On 12 Germinal year II (1 April 1794) Lazare Carnot proposed suppressing the Executive Council and the six ministers, replacing the ministers with twelve committees reporting to the Committee of Public Safety. The proposal was unanimously adopted by the National Convention.
The commissioners were dismissed when a new set of ministers was named by the French Directory on 3 November 1795.

## Committees

Twelve committees were appointed, each composed of two members and one assistant, reporting to the Committee of Public Safety. The commissions were:
* Civil administration, police and tribunals
* Public education
* Agriculture and the arts
* Commerce and supplies
* Public works
* Public assistance
* Transport, posts and couriers
* Finance
* Movement of land armies
* Navy and colonies
* Armaments, powder and mining
* Foreign affairs
