MPs question a government minister
This is a scheduled oral questions session on Scotland, where MPs will pose questions to the Scotland Office or relevant Scottish ministers. Oral questions provide an opportunity for backbench MPs to scrutinise government policy affecting Scotland and raise constituency concerns on the record. The specific topics covered will depend on the questions tabled by MPs, which have not yet been published.
Oral questions are a core accountability mechanism in Parliament. This session allows Scottish MPs and those with Scottish interests to hold the government to account on devolved and reserved matters affecting Scotland, and provides a public forum for airing local grievances and policy challenges.
