	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>The second largest opposition party is neither formally defined nor given specific speaking rights by the Standing Orders of the House or the Companion to the Standing Orders. The Companion to Standing Orders does, however, set out several areas where the “opposition front benches” have the right to speak for longer than backbenchers or have rights to speak at specific points in proceedings.<br><br>Of the political parties represented in the House, only the Official Opposition and the Liberal Democrat group operate frontbenches of a size that permits them to shadow each Government department. It is for that reason that the definition of “opposition frontbenches” that applied in practice before the 2010 Parliament has been reverted to in this Parliament. <br><br>It remains open to any member who wishes to propose a change to current arrangements to make representations to me and/or make a submission to the Procedure Committee.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stowell of Beeston grouped question UIN HL1136 HL1137 HL1138 HL1139 HL1588 question first answered 20/07/2015 16:47:20 answering member 4205 label Biography information for Baroness Stowell of Beeston
