Keir Starmer's first PMQs as Leader of the Opposition: 22 April 2020

Dominic Raab answers questions from MPs. This was the first 'virtual' PMQs and Sir Keir Starmer's first PMQs as Leader of the Opposition. Yesterday MPs also approved a motion that will allow them to participate in questions (including PMQs), urgent questions and ministerial statements via video link. Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday that the House of Commons is sitting and gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime 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, Sir Keir Starmer asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two.
