Official Questions List

The Official Questions List of the House of Lords was a legal instrument in Manticoran politics.
On Questions Day, a question added to the list could only remain unanswered if the official in charge of answering it asserted that the security of the Star Kingdom depended on it. (, )
Even if the question could not be debated in public, a secret session had to be convened so certain members of Parliament could have a secret debate. ()
According to the unwritten portion of Manticoran legal tradition, a Question could not be withdrawn, even by the author, once it was placed on the list. ()
