Prime Minister's Questions with British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation is available on Parliament Live: www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/I...
Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs across the House of Commons the chance to quiz the Prime Minister. If the PM is not available, a senior member of the government may stand in.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two.
