Editing Question time (section)

==Hungary==
In Hungary's [[National Assembly (Hungary)|Parliament]], the hour of immediate questions ''(azonnali kérdések órája)'' is held once every week when the National Assembly is in session,<ref>{{Cite web |title=2012. évi XXXVI. törvény, 43. § (1) - Nemzeti Jogszabálytár |url=https://njt.hu/jogszabaly/2012-36-00-00.72#PR |access-date=2025-02-14 |website=njt.hu}}</ref> for at least 60 minutes. At least one representative from each [[parliamentary group]] may ask the [[Prime Minister of Hungary|Prime Minister]] or any other member of the [[Government of Hungary|government]] a question. In the first round, opposition groups ask their questions first, in descending order of their number of representatives, then the ruling parties. In the second round, any representative may ask a question,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022 |title=Házszabályi Rendelkezések, második átdolgozott kiadás, 126. § (1) |url=https://www.parlament.hu/documents/10181/56582/HSZ+b%C5%91v%C3%ADtett+10_11/bb5bbe97-f9c2-4de3-bc34-6452f8a5c2fc |access-date=2025-02-14}}</ref> though in practice, there rarely is a second round, so all parties usually ask only one question per session. Although the topic of all questions must be submitted in advance,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022 |title=Házszabályi Rendelkezések, második átdolgozott kiadás, 125. § (3) |url=https://www.parlament.hu/documents/10181/56582/HSZ+b%C5%91v%C3%ADtett+10_11/bb5bbe97-f9c2-4de3-bc34-6452f8a5c2fc |access-date=2025-02-14}}</ref> the Prime Minister does not know the specific content of the question before it is asked (usually the titles are very vague, mostly along the lines of "What do you think about this, Mr. Prime Minister?", thus the ministers don't usually have an opportunity to prepare in advance). 2 minutes are available for both the asking and the answering of a question, after which the member of parliament has 1 minute to reply, then so does the minister being asked.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022 |title=Házszabályi Rendelkezések, második átdolgozott kiadás, 126. § (3) |url=https://www.parlament.hu/documents/10181/56582/HSZ+b%C5%91v%C3%ADtett+10_11/bb5bbe97-f9c2-4de3-bc34-6452f8a5c2fc |access-date=2025-02-14}}</ref>
