In parliamentary procedure, ministers are responsible for providing answers to questions during Prime Minister's Questions, and it is inappropriate for the Prime Minister to dodge questions or refer to the opposition leader's policies instead of addressing the questions directly.

Keir Starmer RUNS FOR THE DOOR as MPs CALL OUT his poor behaviourAdded:
Point of order, Mr. Speaker.
>> Edwardly. Point of order.
>> Can I refer you to paragraph 22.9 of Ursk in May, uh, which stresses the primary importance of ministerial responsibility. Now, we've got to admit that prime ministers have always tried to dodge questions at Prime Minister question time, and you're not responsible for the answers they give.
But what we have seen in recent weeks is not just dodging questions but every question asked to the prime minister he refers to the leader of the opposition's policies. This is not leader of the opposition policies. It's prime minister's question and the whole terrible >> can I just say once again I said last week I have not the responsibility or the authority for the answers. What I would say is it's incumbent of ministers to try and ensure there is an answer, but it is not for me to judge whether the answer is correct or not. You will be politicizing the church. If that's what the house wishes to do, by all means do so. But I have not got the power. Once again, I reiterate what I said last week.
