The overall time limit for Question Time remains the same, one hour and 15 minutes in total, with 30 minutes for Priority Questions and the remaining time for Oral Questions. For each question, the individual time limit remains the same, with the addition of 30 seconds for a brief introduction to each question or group of questions. Where questions are grouped for reply, the Deputy whose question is first in the group may introduce the group of questions. Only one Member may introduce a question or group of questions under Standing Order 38(1)(a). A question will not be taken if the Deputy who tabled the question is not present in the Chamber.
