Commons agenda for 13 October: energy questions and bill stages

News Desk 2026-10-13 09:50 2 min read

The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben illuminated at dusk in London, England.

The House of Commons is scheduled to sit on Tuesday 13 October 2026, with energy questions at 11:30am, remaining stages of the Courts and Tribunals Bill and a motion on extending the carry-over period for the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill. Anyone following these issues should check Parliament’s live agenda for changes and proceedings; the listing does not confirm the outcome of any item.

What is scheduled in the Commons on 13 October

The official UK Parliament agenda lists a sitting of the House of Commons and sets out three items for readers to watch. The House of Lords is also listed as sitting that day, though the Commons agenda is the source for the business described here.

At 11:30am, MPs are scheduled to ask oral questions to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Oral questions give MPs an opportunity to raise issues with ministers, but the agenda does not specify which questions will be reached or what answers ministers will give.

Bill stages and Northern Ireland motion

After the questions, the schedule lists the remaining stages of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. These are parliamentary stages at which MPs are due to consider the bill; the listing alone does not establish what amendments or decisions may arise, or whether the bill will complete its stages that day.

The agenda also includes a motion concerning a carry-over extension for the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill. Carry-over motions concern the time allowed for a bill to continue through Parliament. The listing confirms that the motion is scheduled, not whether it will be agreed.

Follow the live agenda for changes

Parliament’s Commons agenda for Tuesday 13 October is the place to check the listed business and follow any changes or proceedings. Parliamentary schedules can change, and the agenda is not a record of the eventual result.

The next verifiable milestone is the House’s proceedings on the day: whether the scheduled questions, bill stages and motion are reached, and what decisions are recorded.
