Ministerial Questions

1000 question sessions where MPs questioned government ministers

What are Ministerial Questions?

Ministerial Questions are scheduled sessions where Members of Parliament question government ministers about their department's policies, decisions, and performance. These sessions provide detailed scrutiny of specific policy areas and allow MPs to hold ministers accountable on behalf of their constituents.

Each government department faces questions on a rotating schedule throughout the parliamentary calendar
MPs submit questions in advance, allowing ministers to prepare detailed policy responses
Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes with opportunities for follow-up questions
The format allows for more technical and in-depth discussions than PMQs
