- Should the UK be doing more for the countries most affected by the climate crisis?
The Foreign Secretary recently stressed that this government is serious about its global leadership on development and climate.
However, the International Development Committee’s new report indicates that the government is cutting corners on its climate finance commitments.
Greater urgency and substantial investment are needed if the UK is to sufficiently support the poorest climate-vulnerable countries.

- Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.

An opposing speech may also be made before the House decides whether or not the bill should be introduced. If the MP is successful the bill is taken to have had its first reading.
While Ten Minute Rule bills are unlikely to become law, they are a tool used by MPs to raise awareness of issues by speaking in the Chamber.
