Summary

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister or a nominated minister. In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance. The Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two.

0:53.3	But I'm looking for a hat trick of health in Hinkfield. But I'm looking for a hat trick
0:54.4	of health in Hinkley. What I'm looking for is a day case unit. The money is already there.

1:10.2	Prime Minister? Mr. Mr. Speaker, I'm delighted that since it's opening last month, the Hinkley CDC has
1:19.8	already delivered, I believe, over 300 additional tests to the local community. My Honourable
1:25.2	Friend will know that it's for the local health authorities to
