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. All answers to questions are published in the Questions Database.
Answers to questions on notice are due within 30 days of the question being published.
