What is meant by the Prime Minister's Questions? What is its primary function?
What will be an ideal response?
By tradition, each week the prime minister must address the House of
Commons for Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), during which time the PM answers
questions from other MPs on any issue. PMQs are largely a spectacle, rather than a
genuine place for information gathering. Nonetheless, they provide the media and the
public with a weekly window into the legislative process.
