Foreign donations in question time

From The House , 6:55 pm on 29 August 2019

Each sitting day at about 2pm there’s an hour of questions to Ministers from other Members of Parliament. 

It’s common for the first question to focus on whether or not the Prime Minister stands by her statements and actions.

But up to 11 other questions can be asked and they often relate to events that have happened outside the debating chamber.

This week the topic of foreign donations to political parties popped up in the debating chamber.

Listen to an overview below.
