Questions and proposals

Questions to ministers are the opposition's main tool for scrutiny; motions and private members' bills are how members put their own proposals on the agenda. Co-sponsors each get credit for a motion.

Parties

Speaking time against party size. Seats are averaged over the session, so substitutes and party switches count for the time they held the seat.

Do parties talk in proportion to their size?
