This guide explains some Assembly words in:

• British Sign Language (BSL)
• Irish Sign Language (ISL)

Learning Assembly terms can help you understand the business of the Assembly, for example, it can help you understand how a new law is made, or what happens in Question Time.

Question Time happens every week on a Monday or Tuesday. It gives MLAs a chance to ask Ministers questions about the work of their Department. One Question Time each week is signed.  We hope that this glossary will help you better understand Question Time and any other sessions that are signed.
