I think you'll find under the British constitution, and according to Erskine May, the definitive guide to Parliamentary practice, that it does. "any act or omission which obstructs or impedes either House of Parliament in the performance of its functions, or which obstructs or impedes any Member or officer of such House in the discharge of his duty, or which has a tendency, directly or indirectly, to produce such results, may be treated as a contempt even though there is no precedent of the offence" The government itself was found in contempt of Parliament over Brexit just this week. As the linked article notes, applies just as much to refusing to appear before a Parliamentary committee. https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/houses/commons/news/100317/explained-what-happens-if-government-found-contempt-parliament https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/houses/commons/news/100...
