Weekly PM questions

Prime Minister's Question Time (PMQs) is the weekly parliamentary session where the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, answers questions from MPs on the government's policies and actions. This is a standard governance procedure where the opposition and backbenchers can hold the government to account on current issues and priorities.

PMQs is a key mechanism of parliamentary accountability and democratic scrutiny. It allows MPs to challenge government policy in real-time and signals to the public the main political issues of the week. As the Prime Minister, Starmer's responses shape government narrative and priorities.
