Oral question tabling time on Thursdays
26.Since April 2011 the tabling time for oral questions has been 2pm each day for slots four weeks ahead of that day. Priority is given to members who attend in person and a queue can sometimes form some hours before the tabling time. The current system of tabling at 2pm each day has the advantage of being consistent and predictable. However, tabling at 2pm on Thursdays may disadvantage those who live far from London.
27.We recommend that the time for tabling oral questions on Thursdays should move to 10.30am, with priority given to those who attend in person (as per other days). Any remaining available slots should be allocated at 10.45am to those who have contacted the Table Office by email or phone, or whose questions have been brought in by others.
