From the next sitting week until the end of the year, government members will trial a constituency question time to run every sitting day as part of questions without notice. What this will mean is that, after five questions have been asked from the government members in the traditional way, further questions will be addressed to ministers by government backbenchers on matters of interest to their local constituency. Local issues are absolutely the bread and butter of every member's job. This will typically involve five questions from government members on their local constituency. It is entirely up to the opposition whether they want to give their backbenchers a say or not.
