‹ Priority Questions Question timing rules
Summary
The Acting Chairman reminds the House of the speaking limits for priority questions and asks Members to keep to time so everyone can be called.
I remind the House that there are six and a half minutes for each question - 30 seconds to put the question, two minutes for the ministerial reply, one minute for on supplementary question, one minute for one ministerial reply, one minute for a final supplementary and one minute for a final reply. I am very strong on sticking to the guidelines because if we do not, there are Members who will not get to ask their questions. I will let Members know when their time is up and ask for everybody's co-operation.
