PROROGATION AND PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS AND EARLY DAY MOTIONS
Effect of Prorogation on Questions and Motions
Parliament is expected to prorogue on Thursday 28 April, subject to the progress of business. Parliamentary Questions are not carried over into the new Session. Questions which have not been answered by the time that Parliament is prorogued will fall. Questions cannot therefore be tabled for answer on a named day which falls on a date after the day of Prorogation.
The latest date on which a named day Question could be tabled and receive an answer will be three sitting days before Prorogation (and Questions submitted in the week before Prorogation are unlikely to receive an answer).

Date of Prorogation |
Last day for tabling Questions for written answer on a named day |
Last day for tabling a Question for ordinary written answer |
|
28 April |
Monday 25 April |
Tuesday 26 April |
All Motions fall at Prorogation. The last day on which new Motions (including Early Day Motions) and added names can be submitted by Members is the day before Prorogation takes place. No new Motions (including Early Day Motions) may therefore be tabled on the day of Prorogation nor may any names be added to existing Motions on that day.
TABLING QUESTIONS AND MOTIONS IN THE NEW SESSION
After Parliament has prorogued, MemberHub will be offline to prepare for the new Session. MemberHub will be back online on the day after Parliament prorogues and Questions submitted from that date will be treated as having been tabled on Tuesday 10 May. The earliest date for which a Named Day Question may be set down for answer will be Monday 16 May. The earliest day for which an Ordinary Question may be set down for answer will be Thursday 12 May.
There will be no Question Time on the first three sitting days of the new Session. The rota of Departments answering oral questions from Monday 16 May will be published in due course.
New Motions may be tabled from Tuesday 10 May (the day of the State Opening). Early Day Motions can be tabled on MemberHub from the day after Parliament prorogues but will be treated as being tabled on 10 May. Early Day Motions tabled in hard copy between 10am and 3pm on 10 May will be assigned the first EDM numbers in the new Session.
FORTHCOMING END OF DAY ADJOURNMENT DEBATES
Tuesday 10 May to Monday 16 May (deadline Wednesday 27 April 7.00pm or the rise of the House, whichever is earlier)
Parliament is expected to prorogue on Thursday 28 April subject to the progress of business, ahead of the State Opening of Parliament, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 10 May. The debate on the Queen’s Speech usually lasts for six sitting days. There will be an end-of-day adjournment debate each day.
Applications should be made on MemberHub or in writing to the Table Office. Emailed applications must be submitted from a Member’s own email account. Application forms are available on the Table Office page on the Parliamentary intranet. The ballot will take place on Thursday 28 April.
FORTHCOMING WESTMINSTER HALL DEBATES
There will be no Westminster Hall debates in the new Session of Parliament until the debate on the Queen’s Speech has concluded (Standing Order No. 10(2)(a)). The new rota for answering departments will be published in the Order Paper as soon as it is available, and Members will be able to submit applications when that rota is published.
