uin	8006
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2024 answer text <p>The Standing Orders provide for thirteen sitting Fridays per session. The House can agree, on a Government motion, to sit on additional Fridays when required. This is usually appropriate when the length of a session has been extended.</p><p>With the support of the Government, 24 Private Members’ Bills were passed in the last session, with only one additional Friday allocated. This is more than the 2021-22 session, which saw 13 Private Members’ Bills reach Royal Assent in thirteen sitting Fridays. This clearly demonstrates that sufficient support from across the House is more important in the successful passage of Private Members’ Bills than additional parliamentary time.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 11/01/2024 15:24:00 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
