This is the parliamentary question time for questions to the Prime Minister.

Members of the Commons may question the Prime Minister on any issue relating to his department. Each member is limited to one question per week.

This House recognises Commoncold0 as the Prime Minister, and requests that he answers all questions posed to him/her.

This House recognises Lord Wallace Buttersworth as the Leader of the Opposition, and as such grants him the right to ask six questions per week.

The government may only be asked to answer one question at a time - no new questions may be submitted until the previous one has been answered. If the government does not answer, action may be taken by the speaker of the commons.

I therefore open this session with the following question:

Will the Prime Minister please tell us of his department's aims for this session of parliament?

During this session of parliament, my government intends to carry out the manifesto pledges of the reform party. Furthermore, we intend to see the abortion debate through until the end and to also introduce legislation in other areas as needed.

I thank the Prime Minister for his answer and open this session to the house.
