UK 🔴 PMQs LIVE: Prime Minister’s Questions – 15 October 2025

Watch PMQs with British Sign Language (BSL) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSnwvUmiiqY
Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.

UK Women, peace and security – International Development Committee

This evidence session may include content that some viewers may find distressing.
The International Development Committee are holding an evidence session on women, peace and security.
We will be hearing from a former Afghan female politician and a Sudanese activist as we investigate the role of women in building peace and security globally.
The Committee are exploring how well the UK has implemented the Women, Peace and Security agenda through successive National Action Plans, as well as how it has integrated women’s voices more broadly within its development programmes.
We are likely to ask witnesses whether they have seen women able to play a meaningful role in politics and peace building, what barriers might stand in the way of this, and what risks might result from women and girls being excluded from decisions.

What are petition debates?
Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.
Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.
The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on petitions to parliament started on petition.parliament.uk
