#PMQs #upsc #IAS #Polity #GS2 #PSIR Q. Compare and contrast the British Parliamentary practice of Prime Minister Question Time with that of Indian Parliamentary system. Ans. #PrimeMinisterQuestionTime (#PMQs) is a weekly session in the #British #HouseofCommons during which the #PrimeMinister answers questions from members of #Parliament (#MPs). It is a highly anticipated event, often featuring sharp exchanges between the Prime Minister and the #Opposition. #QuestionHour is the Indian equivalent of PMQs, but it is less structured and more formal. It takes place for an hour every day during the #Session of #IndianParliament, and questions can be addressed to any minister, not just the Prime Minister. 💥Similarities 👉Both PMQs and Question Hour are opportunities for MPs to hold the government to account. 👉Both sessions are televised, allowing the public to see how their elected representatives are performing. 👉Both sessions can be raucous and heated, with MPs often interrupting each other and the Speaker. 💥Differences 👉PMQs is a weekly event, while Question Hour takes place every day during the Session of Parliament. 👉PMQs is more structured than Question Hour. In PMQs, the first six questions are asked by the Leader of the Opposition, followed by two questions from the leader of the second largest opposition party. The remaining questions are then asked by other MPs on a first-come, first-served basis. In Question Hour, there is no fixed order for questions, and MPs can ask questions on any topic. 👉PMQs is more focused on the Prime Minister, while Question Hour can be addressed to any minister. 👉PMQs is generally more adversarial than Question Hour. MPs in the Opposition often use PMQs to attack the Prime Minister and the government, while MPs in the ruling party often use Question Hour to defend the government's record. 👉Overall, PMQs and Question Hour are both important #parliamentarypractices that allow MPs to hold the government to account. 💥However, there are some key differences between the two systems. PMQs is more structured and focused on the Prime Minister, while Question Hour is more informal and can be addressed to any minister. PMQs is also generally more adversarial than Question Hour. 🔆Example: 👉PMQs: The Leader of the Opposition asks the Prime Minister a question about the government's handling of the economy. The Prime Minister responds, and the Leader of the Opposition then asks a #supplementaryquestion. This process continues for six questions, followed by two questions from the leader of the second largest opposition party. The remaining questions are then asked by other MPs on a first-come, first-served basis. MPs in the Opposition often use PMQs to attack the Prime Minister and the government, while MPs in the ruling party often use PMQs to defend the government's record. 👉Question Hour: An MP asks the Minister of Finance a question about the government's budget. The Minister of Finance responds, and the MP then asks a supplementary question. This process can continue for any length of time, and MPs can ask questions on any topic. Question Hour is generally more informal and less adversarial than PMQs. MPs in the Opposition often use Question Hour to seek information from the government, while MPs in the ruling party often use Question Hour to promote the government's policies.

"Es una humillación abyecta" resume el periodista de BBCWorld. "El problema es que no tienen a nadie en el partido para sustituirla". "No es sólo el fracaso de la economía que defiende #LizTrus, es el fracaso del planteamiento del #Brexit". Boom. #PrimeMInisterQuestionTime

Interested in the last question of #primeministerquestiontime regarding an emergency visa for migrant workers so our nations produce does not continue to rot in the fields. A seasonal work visa is not enough to tempt ppl to UK

Is this true? I’m hearing that @10DowningStreet is opening the House of Commons to 50 MP’s today. For #primeministerquestiontime meanwhile, people cannot have funerals for their loved one.

We had a go at our own #PrimeMinisterquestiontime at #Summercourt today - everyone knew #MargaretThatcher interestingly 🤔. Lovely to do a bit of room checking too - well done our staff 👏👏👏
