Cabinet Office (including Topical Questions)
MPs question a government minister
Routine oral questions to the Cabinet Office, the department responsible for government coordination, the civil service, and parliamentary affairs. This session includes topical questions where MPs can raise urgent, current issues affecting the government and public policy. These questions hold the government to account on its overall performance and cross-departmental priorities.
Cabinet Office questions are a key mechanism for parliamentary accountability, allowing MPs to scrutinise the government's central decision-making, civil service management, and coordination of policy across departments. This affects all areas of government delivery and public trust in governance.
