Written Question
Ministerial Statements and Private Notice Questions: Virtual Proceedings
Wednesday 27th May 2020

Asked by: Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker what assessment has been made of the time available to members of the House to participate in (1) Private Notice Questions, and (2) urgent questions from the House of Commons repeated as statements, which are being considered in Virtual Proceedings; and what plans there are to change the time available.

Answered by Lord McFall of Alcluith

The Procedure Committee agreed on 11 May that the time allowed for a Private Notice Question should be increased from ten minutes to fifteen minutes. This change was approved by the House on 14 May. The allocation of time for the answers to Urgent Questions in the House of Commons repeated in the form of Oral Statements remains as if it were taking place in the Chamber, and there are currently no plans to extend the time allowed for these. The Procedure Committee will continue to keep these arrangements under review.
