What are Parliamentary Statements?

Parliamentary Statements encompass various types of declarations made to the House of Commons, including Ten Minute Rule Bills, ministerial statements on policy developments, and urgent statements on breaking issues. These provide opportunities for MPs to introduce new legislation or for ministers to update Parliament on government actions.

  • Ten Minute Rule Bills allow backbench MPs to propose new legislation in a brief 10-minute speech
  • Ministerial statements inform Parliament of government decisions, policy changes, or responses to crises
  • MPs can ask questions following ministerial statements to scrutinise government actions
  • While most Ten Minute Rule Bills don't become law, they raise awareness of important issues
