Well blow me down
Article Abstract:

Duel without purpose(prime minister question time)(Britain)
Article Abstract:
Question time, which settled into its present form in 1961, consists of a 15-minute segment of questions twice a week. Prime Minister John Major has given the event a new twist in that when asked a question by Tony Blair of the Labor party, he often counters with a question of his own.
