PRIME MINISTER'S QUESTIONS

That this House regrets the fact that in 1997 Prime Minister's Questions was moved from twice a week to once a week; notes that there was no proper consultation about this step; further notes that this has made it more difficult for back-benchers to ask topical questions; further notes that consequently the House is less effective in holding the Government to account; and calls on the Government to restore Prime Minister's Questions to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
