POINT OF ORDER – PRIME MINISTER's QUESTIONS - 18 March 2026

Sir Julian Lewis: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You have clearly explained that you are not responsible for the quality, or lack of it, in a Minister’s answers – or even a Prime Minister’s answers – but can you explain for the benefit of the House and the viewing public what Prime Minister’s questions is supposed to be about: namely, that the Opposition and other right hon. and hon. Members get to ask the Prime Minister a question about a subject of their choice, and that it is not an opportunity for him to then berate them for not asking a question about a completely different subject that he wishes had been asked?

[Mr Speaker: As a long-standing Member who came in with me in 1997, the right hon. Gentleman knows that that is not a point of order.]
