Once a month
Back in October, I gave evidence to the Stormont Committee on Procedures about how the Assembly Question Time might be reformed to make it more relevant to the public.
Now the FIrst and Deputy First Ministers have responded to the Committee by suggesting they should face questions once a month, rather than once a fortnight as at present. The FM and DFM argue this would bring them into line with other departments which face questions monthly. However such a move would put them seriously out of kilter with Scotland and Wales, where the First Ministers take questions every week.
I did a web search to find out what else happens once a month. I was surprised to find how many people think you can get done once a month, alternatively you can on that basis. But I like to think of the FM and DFM as our very own whose appearances in the future should perhaps be cross referenced with the lunar cycle.
