It provides that “there shall be time, to be designated the Prime Minister’s time, commencing at 3.00 p.m., every Wednesday.” The word “shall” is mandatory; it is not optional. I wish to underline the word “Shall” and “every Wednesday.” 2(a) says:- (a) the Prime Minister may make a Statement, or (b) questions may be put to the Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at this Order Paper it has no provision for the Prime Minister’s Question Time. I think that is a contradiction to the Standing Orders."}
