Whips will be happy with the order paper - Bercow will have to liven it up & call the awkward squad

Prime Minister's Questions today will today be rather boring unless Mr Speaker Bercow (Buckinghamshire) calls the awkward squad of the Tories, Lib Dems and people like Dennis Skinner from the Labour party to liven it up. The order paper has is a dream for the whips office as all the Tories are simply yes men/women.

Question two on the order paper is a closed question and will be after the Leader of the Opposition, Ed Miliband (Doncaster North), has asked his questions and extra government backbencher. With youth unemployment falling over the last two months it gives the Prime Minister some wriggle room. The Eurosceptic Gisela Stewart may well go on the ruling on prisoners votes yesterday. The Order of Questions for Prime Minister's Questions for today:


01, Karen Bradley (Staffordshire Moorlands): If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 23 May
02, John Mann (Bassetlaw): What assessment he has made of the level of youth unemployment
03, Mr Gary Streeter (South West Devon)
04, Ms Gisela Stuart (Birmingham, Edgbaston)
05, Andrea Leadsom (South Northamptonshire)
06, Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford)
07, Paul Maynard (Blackpool North and Cleveleys)
08, Christopher Pincher (Tamworth)
09, Mr Iain Wright (Hartlepool)
10, Chris Evans (Islwyn)
11, Keith Vaz (Leicester East)
12, Sajid Javid (Bromsgrove)
13, Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe)
14, Sheila Gilmore (Edinburgh East)
15, Eric Ollerenshaw (Lancaster and Fleetwood)
