Announcements
PROROGATION AND PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS AND EARLY DAY MOTIONS
Effect of Prorogation on Questions and Motions
Prorogation is expected on Thursday 29 April. Parliamentary Questions are not carried over into the new Session. Questions which have not been answered by the time that Parliament is prorogued will not be answered. Questions cannot therefore be tabled for answer on a named day which falls on a date after Prorogation.
The latest date on which a named day Question could be tabled and receive an answer will be three sitting days before Prorogation. If Prorogation takes place on 29 April, the latest time for tabling a Question for written answer on a named day is 10.30pm or the rise of the House, whichever is earlier, on Monday 26 April (for answer on Thursday 29 April).
The latest time for tabling a Question for ordinary written answer is 7.30pm or the rise of the House, whichever is earlier, on Tuesday 27 April (but please note that such Questions submitted in the week before Prorogation are unlikely to receive an answer).
All Motions fall at Prorogation. The last day on which new Motions (including Early Day Motions) and added names can be submitted by Members is the day before Prorogation takes place. No new Motions (including Early Day Motions) may therefore be tabled on the day of Prorogation nor may any names be added to existing Motions on that day.
TABLING QUESTIONS AND MOTIONS IN THE NEW SESSION
After the Parliament has prorogued, MemberHub will be offline to prepare for the new Session. Members may table Questions from Tuesday 11 May (the day of the State Opening). The earliest date for which a Named Day Question may be set down for answer will be Monday 17 May. The earliest day for which an Ordinary Question may be set down for answer will be Thursday 13 May.
There will be no Question Time on the first three sitting days of the new Session. The rota of Departments answering oral questions from Monday 17 May will be published in due course.
New Motions may be tabled from Tuesday 11 May (the day of the State Opening).
VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION IN PROCEEDINGS
On 30 December 2020, the House agreed an order extending virtual participation to debate and certain other proceedings in accordance with a scheme prepared by the Speaker. On 25 March the House extended these provisions until 21 June.
The scheme for virtual participation in proceedings and the revised Members’ Guide to Chamber proceedings are available on the intranet. The Members’ Guide to Westminster Hall proceedings is available on the intranet.
PARTICIPATION IN WESTMINSTER HALL
On 25 February, the House agreed a motion to resume sittings in Westminster Hall on Monday 8 March. On 25 March the House extended these provisions until 21 June. The sittings will take place in the Boothroyd Room in Portcullis House to allow Members to participate virtually.
Applying to speak
Applications to speak should be made via email to the Speaker’s Office (speakersoffice@parliament.uk).
The deadlines are as follows:
1.00 pm on the previous Friday for debates on a Monday; and
1.00 pm on the previous day for debates on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Call lists will be published at around 12.30 pm on a Monday for debates that day and 6.30 pm the previous day for debates on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Participation
Members are able to participate physically or virtually, but should note Mr Speaker’s request for Members to participate virtually in proceedings wherever possible. Members who wish to participate physically should note this when they contact the Speaker’s office.
For 60-minute and 90-minute debates, and debates scheduled by the Petitions Committee, only Members who are on the call list are permitted to attend. Members are not permitted to attend only to intervene or to observe.
Members will be called in the order they appear on the call list, unless there are technical problems which prevent this.
For 30-minute debates, there will not be a call list. Members wishing to contribute should follow existing conventions about contacting the Member in charge of the debate, the Speaker’s Office and the Minister.
Arrangements for social distancing
On the horseshoe in the Boothroyd Room, there are a maximum of eleven seats.
Of these seats, there are four available from which backbenchers can speak (others are reserved for the frontbenchers, the PPS or whip, the Member in charge, the Chair and the Clerk).
There are seven additional seats in the public gallery for Members in the latter part of the call list from which they can listen to debates and move onto the horseshoe when spaces become available.
Members should clean the microphone and the desk around them before and after use. Cleaning materials will be available for this purpose.
Guidance for Members on hybrid arrangements in Westminster Hall can be found on the intranet.
FORTHCOMING END OF DAY ADJOURNMENT DEBATES
Tuesday 11 May to Monday 17 May (deadline 28 April 7.00pm or the rise of the House, whichever is earlier)
Prorogation is expected on Thursday 29 April ahead of the State Opening of Parliament, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 11 May. The debate on the Queen’s Speech usually lasts for six sitting days. There will be an end-of-day adjournment debate each day.
Applications should be made in writing to the Table Office. Members must submit their application from their own email account. Application forms are available on the Table Office page on the Parliamentary intranet.
The ballot will take place on Thursday 29 April.
FORTHCOMING WESTMINSTER HALL DEBATES
There will be no Westminster Hall debates in the new Session of Parliament until the debate on the Queen’s Speech has concluded (Standing Order No. 10(2)(a)). The new rota for answering Departments will be published in the Order Paper as soon as it is available, and Members will be able to submit applications when that rota is published.
