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, Sir Keir Starmer 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.

Chair of the BTC Rt Hon Liam Byrne said: “The Government has set its sights on a pro-worker, pro-business agenda. But has it got the balance right? In this new enquiry we’ll be lighting up the key issues at stake and reporting back in time for the House to hear what we heard before the Report stage of the bill.”

- BBC World Service provides trusted news to radio, TV and digital audiences around the world in 42 languages including English, reaching a global audience of 318 million. It is chiefly funded by the UK Licence Fee with additional grant funding of £104.4mn [FY 23/24 and 24/25 respectively] from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Under this arrangement, the BBC World Service has agreed not to close any language services – but this condition set to be lifted in 2025.
BBC Director General, Tim Davie, made it clear in a speech in March 2024 that "we cannot keep asking UK Licence Fee payers to invest in (the World Service) when we face cuts to UK services. We will need to discuss a long-term funding solution for the World Service that comes from central government budgets."
This is a joint session between the Foreign Affairs Committee, International Development Committee and Culture, Media and Sport Committee.

- Date posted

- Description
- 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, Sir Keir Starmer 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.

- Post Office Horizon scandal: fast and fair financial redress - Business and Trade Committee (Part 2)
- Runtime
- 11:55
- Date posted
- 2 years ago
- Description
- The Business and Trade Committee has announced a short inquiry on financial redress in the Post Office Horizon scandal, focused on “fast and fair redress” for victims of what has been described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in UK history.
In a scandal reaching back over two decades, postmasters who run individual post office branches experienced difficulties with the Horizon Post Office computer system. Errors in the system showed false shortfalls in postmasters’ accounts, which the Post Office then demanded they cover.
The situation has been compounded by the ensuing lengthy campaign for justice involving multiple court cases, overturned convictions, the development of several financial redress schemes and an ongoing public inquiry. The ITV drama “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” screened in January 2024 drew widespread public attention to the scandal.
