What does it do?

You will find the answers to practical and organisational questions concerning the operation of Parliament's plenary sittings:

  • the role and responsibilities of each body or individual involved in the functioning of the plenary,
  • dates, deadlines and calendar for the plenary,
  • access requirements to the Chamber, gallery and other meeting venues,
  • the organisation and operation of different parts of plenary sittings (debates, votes, question time, formal sittings),
  • documents related to plenary activities.

Where appropriate, a reference to Parliament's Rules of Procedure is given, indicating the relevant provision.
