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

UK 🔴 PMQs LIVE: Prime Minister’s Questions – 17 December 2025

Watch PMQs with British Sign Language (BSL) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU0oKVJzdXs

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.

This will be the Minister’s first appearance in front of PACAC since he joined the Cabinet Office, and he will appear alongside the department’s Permanent Secretary, Cat Little CB.

The Committee is likely to question witnesses about the newly-created role of Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister.

Other topics which may be covered include the Minister’s plans for reforming the Civil Service, the current status of the Government’s five core ‘missions’, and the Government’s plans for digital ID.
