MEMORANDUM

TABLING OF QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER IN THE NEW SESSION

       Shuffles will take place at 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday 6th November, the day of the State Opening, for the oral Questions being answered on:

       A shuffle will take place at 12.30 p.m. on Wednesday 7th November for the oral Questions being answered on Tuesday 13th November. The shuffles for subsequent Question times will follow the normal pattern and details may be found on the Order of Questions to be issued in the week beginning 29th October which will be available from the Vote Office and via the Parliamentary Intranet.

       All Questions fall at Prorogation. Members may send notices of Questions relating to the new Session to the Table Office by post or through the e-tabling system once the House has prorogued. These notices will be treated as having been received on the first day of the new Session.

       Members may table notices of Questions in person in the Table Office from its opening time in the new Session of 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday 6th November.

       An explanatory note on the tabling of topical Questions for oral answer will be available in the Table Office if the Motion on the First Report of the Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons and the proposals set out in the Government’s response thereto is agreed to by the House.

       The last day in the Session on which effective notices of new Motions and added names can be submitted by Members is the day before Prorogation takes place. No new Motions may therefore be tabled on the day of Prorogation nor may any names be added to existing Motions.
