Questions on Notice

Questions on Notice

Questions on Notice are written requests for information, asked by Members to Ministers.

Standing Orders 8.09–8.13 govern the procedure for asking and answering Questions on Notice.

Questions submitted by Members are published at the back of the online Notice Paper each sitting day and all answers to questions are published in Hansard after they have been tabled.

Answers to questions on notice are due within 30 days of the question being published.

This spreadsheet lists all questions on notice asked in the Council. It also indicates whether a response has been tabled (and the date it was tabled). This is published after each sitting day.
