Summary
The Acting Chairman explains the six-and-a-half-minute speaking limits and timing rules for Priority Questions.
I remind Members that Priority Questions involve a procedure that lasts six and a half minutes and I will stick to that strictly. There are 30 seconds for a Member to introduce a question and two minutes for the ministerial reply. There are four minutes overall for supplementary questions and replies, with a one-minute limit on each supplementary question and reply. If we allow it to run over, somebody may not get to ask their question.
