First Minister's Questions (FMQs; Welsh: Cwestiynau i'r prif weinidog) is the weekly questioning of the First Minister of Wales in the Senedd (the Welsh parliament). It serves the purpose of holding the Welsh Government to account and the format has evolved over time. First Minister's Questions follows in some of the traditions of Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons. Other devolved administrations in the United Kingdom also have sessions for the question times of their leaders that take the same name. The session was initially titled First Secretary's Questions, and was renamed when the position of First Secretary for Wales was renamed to First Minister in 2000.[1]
