School concrete: Sunak set to be quizzed on RAAC closures as PMQs returns

It kicks off with one MP - from the government or the opposition - asking the prime minister to list his engagements for the day.

Rishi Sunak answers - usually about meetings he had earlier, with more to come - and may also speak on a topical issue, like paying tribute to a person of note. Then it's down to business. The leader of the opposition - Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer - gets to ask six questions and each time the PM replies.

The leader of the second biggest opposition party - currently Stephen Flynn, the SNP's Westminster leader - then gets two questions. And then there are the backbenchers. Fifteen MPs, who can be from any party, are selected by random ballot ahead of the session.If he thinks there's time, he'll also select other MPs that stand up and"catch his eye" - as it's known in Parliament-speak. Sometimes a couple of backbenchers come before the Labour leader, or between Labour and the SNP.
