It’s another busy day in the capital. BBC Parliament brings you the full spectrum of parliamentary proceedings, from the high‑profile Prime Minister’s Questions to in‑depth discussions on energy policy and social care. Below is the schedule with my take on each slot, plus a quick note on timing and potential changes.

12:00 – 12:35 | Live Prime Minister’s Questions
At the heart of the day, the PM’s Q&A is the flagship event. It’s the most watched parliamentary moment, offering a direct line from the Prime Minister to the public. A reliable anchor for the day.

Questions directed at Lords ministers. A fine opportunity to see how high‑level policy is addressed.
23:20 – 07:00 | House of Lords (night‑time)
Late‑night proceedings often cover the more technical aspects of bills. It’s a niche but worthwhile watch for enthusiasts.

Bottom Line
Wednesday’s parliamentary lineup is packed with high‑profile debates and policy discussions. The prime focus remains the Live Prime Minister’s Questions, but the surrounding sessions provide context that can enrich your understanding of UK politics.
