Business Questions to the Leader of the House

Leader of the House announces next week's business

MPs pose questions to the Leader of the House about parliamentary business, scheduling, and government priorities. This is a standing weekly opportunity for backbenchers to quiz the government frontbench on Commons management, forthcoming legislation, and procedural matters.

Business Questions are a core accountability mechanism in the Commons. They allow MPs to probe government plans, air constituency concerns about parliamentary time, and challenge the administration on its legislative agenda and priorities. This shapes what business gets debated and when.
