Time allowed for priority questions

Summary

Barry challenged the Chair’s handling of supplementary questions, and the Chair defended the 15-minute limit and sought Members’ cooperation before calling the next question.

Every day I draw the Deputy's attention to the fact that there is only 15 minutes to dispose of priority questions.

Comment on this

There were at least seven or eight supplementary questions to some of the questions asked yesterday.

I seek the co-operation of Members, sometimes I get their co-operation but sometimes I do not.
