Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) is a constitutional convention whereby the prime minister answers questions from opposition MPs, held every Wednesday at noon while parliament is sitting. The practice of the prime minister taking questions at fixed times of the week was introduced by Harold Macmillan in 1961, on the recommendation of the House of Commons’ Procedure Committee, though the format has changed several times since then.
