Question Time occurs on each Wednesday where Parliament is in session. Questions may be put to the Prime Minister under a new thread each week (entitled “Questions: Wednesday [Date]”). The Prime Minister and Ministers of the Crown must answer any questions that are relevant to the work of his Government and of Parliament. Questions may be referred to the Speaker if the Prime Minister or Minister believes they are inappropriate or phrased in an offensive manner. The Speaker must make a ruling on the matter.
We haven't been keeping this up so well! Let it be known, that if on a wednesday you want to ask questions, don't let the absence of a thread stop you, create one with the required title. The stading orders dont mandate who has to start a question time thread.
