Commons agenda for 13 October: energy questions and bills

The House of Commons is scheduled to sit on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, with energy questions at 11:30am and legislation later on the agenda. MPs and anyone following Parliament should check the live Commons agenda for changes and the latest proceedings; the listing sets out planned business, not the outcome of any debate or bill stage.

Commons business scheduled for Tuesday 13 October

The UK Parliament listing gives this order of business for the House of Commons:

• 11:30am: Oral questions to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
• Later in the sitting: Remaining stages of the Courts and Tribunals Bill.
• Also listed: A motion concerning a carry-over extension for the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

The agenda identifies the business but does not specify here when each item after oral questions will be reached. Parliamentary proceedings can affect the timing, so check the live listing for the latest schedule.

What the listed business covers

The energy questions are a scheduled opportunity for MPs to question ministers from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The listing does not state which questions will be answered or what ministers will say.

The Courts and Tribunals Bill is listed for its remaining stages. This means the Commons is scheduled to consider further stages of the bill; the agenda alone does not establish whether those stages will finish or what decisions MPs will make.

The separate Northern Ireland Troubles Bill item concerns a motion on extending the bill’s carry-over period. Its inclusion does not confirm whether the motion will be agreed.
