The Government has discontinued the Prime Minister’s question time in Parliament.
This practice was instituted by former Prime Minister Bruce Golding, who would take questions from the floor of the House every second Tuesday.
However, Phillip Paulwell, the Leader of Government Business in the House of Representatives,said the new administration is going in a different direction.
Paulwell said members will be required to follow Parliament’s Standing Orders in seeking to ask questions of the Prime Minister.
Last week, the minister with responsibility for information, Senator Sandrea Falconer, informed that Simpson Miller has also decided to abandon 'Jamaica House Live'.
'Jamaica House Live', a monthly radio call-in programme was also introduced by Golding, to allow Jamaicans here and overseas to interact with the prime minister.
Senator Falconer said Simpson Miller is looking at other options to communicate directly with Jamaicans.
