Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (including Topical Questions)
MPs will question the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary on departmental priorities and current issues affecting farming, food security, and environmental policy. Topical questions allow backbenchers to raise urgent, time-sensitive matters without prior notice, so the agenda will depend on what MPs choose to ask on the day—likely covering rural livelihoods, agricultural support post-Brexit, food prices, or environmental regulation.
Attorney General (answered by Solicitor General)
This is a regular opportunity for MPs to question the Attorney General's Office on matters of law, legal policy, and the government's legal functions. Because the Attorney General is answering through the Solicitor General, questions will typically cover judicial appointments, crown prosecution policy, civil service legal advice, and parliamentary legal issues. The timing (June 2026) suggests questions may relate to any legal or justice matters under government review at that point.
Business Questions to the Leader of the House
Backbench MPs pose questions to the Leader of the House about the government's parliamentary business schedule and priorities. This is a routine weekly opportunity for Commons members to probe the timetable for legislation, inquire about adjournment debates, and seek clarity on government intentions. The questions often reveal tensions between frontbench scheduling and backbench demand for time to debate local or constituency issues.
