📖 Key Information
Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs, officially known as Questions to the Prime Minister, while colloquially known as Prime Minister's Question Time) is a constitutional convention in the United Kingdom, currently held as a single session every Wednesday at noon when the House of Commons is sitting, during which the prime minister answers questions from members of Parliament (MPs).
The Institute for Government has described PMQs as "the most distinctive and internationally famous feature of British politics." In the legislatures of the devolved nations of the UK, the equivalent procedure is known as First Minister's Questions.
