Oral questions
Oral questions are proportional to the number of non-executive MPs a party has. These numbers are:
- National 56
- Labour 24
- NZ First 4
- Greens 4
- ACT 1
In a three week session there are 108 questions. So the average questions per sessions of nine days will be:
- National 68 which is seven or eight a day
- Labour 29 which is three most days and sometimes four
- NZ First 5 so one every second day approx
- Greens 5 so one every second day approx
- ACT 1 so one every three weeks
So the average day will see eight questions from National, three from Labour and one from NZ First or Greens.
