Commons - Main Chamber Sir Keir Starmer

Weekly PM questions

Prime Minister's Question Time is the weekly Commons session in which the Prime Minister answers questions from MPs. Sir Keir Starmer, as Labour Prime Minister, will face questions from Opposition MPs and backbenchers on government policy, current events, and matters of public concern. This session allows scrutiny of the government's record and decisions.

PMQs is a core democratic accountability mechanism. It tests the Prime Minister's command of policy, political reflexes, and ability to defend the government's record under pressure. For backbenchers and opposition parties, it is an opportunity to raise constituent concerns and challenge government direction on live television, shaping public perception of government competence.
