On Wednesday 24 February started a debate at the House of Commons about lack of things in the UK’s system. Some of the topics discussed were youth unemployment, economic situation in Scotland, rail services, number of job opportunities, public expenditure and search and rescue services. After the debaters were finished Mr. Speaker allowed them to ask questions to Mr. President.
There are different definitions on what “question time” is and some confusions let people think that it’s just asking questions in parliament. Question time is when a member of parliament asks questions to Government and Prime Minister. The ministers are obliged to answer their questions. Basically question time is quite popular in the UK, and occurs nearly daily while parliament is sitting.
In the start the debate room was quite empty with few debaters. Within half an hour the room was nearly full. Many well known politicians had arrived and Mr. Prime Minister was ready for the question time. Before the question time the debaters discussed important topics such as youth unemployment, economic situation in Scotland, rail services, number of job opportunities, public expenditure and search and rescue services. After that debate Mr. Prime Minister came to the microphone and started with a tribute to soldiers who had lost their life in Afghanistan. Mr. Prime Minister was ready to get asked questions after his tribute to the dead soldiers.
