The Business Committee, chaired by the Leader of Government Business and with the Leader of the Opposition as Ranking Member, consists of Chief Whips and up to eleven other Members. It primarily determines the House's agenda, including the order of business, time allotted for debates, and the schedule for Bill stages. The Committee also recommends a rota for Ministers to answer questions. While the Committee proposes the agenda, the Speaker retains the ultimate authority to decide which matters can be introduced in the House. The Clerk is responsible for coordinating the questioning process according to the approved rota and informing the relevant Ministers.
