MPs question a government minister

This is a scheduled oral questions session focused on Scotland, where MPs will pose questions to the Scotland Office or relevant Scottish affairs minister. Oral questions allow backbenchers to scrutinise government policy and decisions affecting Scotland, covering devolved and reserved matters depending on the nature of questions tabled.

Scotland oral questions provide parliamentary accountability on Scottish issues and allow Scottish MPs to raise constituent concerns at Westminster. This affects governance relations between the UK Parliament and the Scottish Government, and allows MPs to highlight Scottish priorities to the wider House.
