Announcements
Prorogation and Parliamentary Questions and Early Day Motions
Effect of Prorogation on Questions and Motions
Prorogation is expected to be on a day between Thursday 26 and Tuesday 31 October. Parliamentary Questions are not carried over into the new Session. Questions which have not been answered by the time that Parliament is prorogued will not be answered. Questions cannot therefore be tabled for answer on a named day which falls on a date after 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).

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
Immediately after Prorogation, MemberHub will be taken offline to prepare for the new Session, but will be back online the next day. Members may submit Questions from then, but all Questions will be treated as being tabled on Tuesday 7 November, the day of State Opening. The earliest date for which a Named Day Question may be set down for answer will be Monday 13 November. The earliest day for which an Ordinary Question may be set down for answer will be Thursday 9 November.
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 13 November will be published in due course.
New Motions may be tabled from Tuesday 7 November, the day of State Opening. Early Day Motions can be tabled on MemberHub from the day after Prorogation but will be treated as being tabled on 7 November. Early Day Motions tabled in hard copy between 10am and 3pm on 7 November will be assigned the first EDM numbers in the new Session. A Member may submit an EDM in MemberHub and then table in hard copy to secure one of the first numbers.
Forthcoming End of Day Adjournment Debates
Tuesday 7 November to Monday 13 November (deadline Wednesday 25 October 7.00pm or the rise of the House, whichever is earlier)
Prorogation is expected between Thursday 26 and Tuesday 31 October ahead of the State Opening of Parliament, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 7 November. The debate on the King’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 ParliNet. The ballot will take place on Thursday 26 October.
Forthcoming Westminster Hall Debates
There will be no Westminster Hall debates in the new Session of Parliament until the debate on the King’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.
Election of the Chair of the Defence Committee
Nominations must be handed in to the Table Office or Public Bill Office on days when the House is sitting and at the latest by 12 noon on Tuesday 24 October. Nomination forms are available in those offices and in the Vote Office.
Only members of the Conservative Party may be candidates in this election.
Each nomination shall consist of a signed declaration made by the candidate declaring their willingness to stand for election, accompanied by the signatures of 15 Members elected to the House as members of the same party as the candidate. Nominations may (optionally) be accompanied by signatures of up to five Members elected to the House as members of any party other than that to which the candidate belongs, or members of no party.
No Member may sign more than one candidate’s nomination paper; if any Member does so, their signature will be invalidated for all nominations. Nominations may (optionally) be accompanied by a supporting statement of no more than 500 words: supporting statements are published online and in an election day booklet.
The ballot will take place between 11.00am and 2.30pm on Wednesday 25 October in the Aye division lobby.
As soon as practicable after the votes have been counted the Speaker will announce to the House the results of the ballot.
