It is the best attended and noisiest part of the parliamentary day and it is the moment when MP's can ask the ministers questions. Those questions have to be 'tabled' (written down and placed on the table below the Speaker's chair) two day's in advance so the minister can prepare the answer. But the MP is allowed to ask an unexpected supplementary question. Question time forces government to make certain facts public and to make intentions clear. It is often covered by the media.(TV)
