- Zero Hour denotes the time immediately following the Question Hour in both Houses of Parliament. It starts at 12 noon. It came to be called an Hour also because very often it continued for one full hour, until the House rose for lunch at 1 p.m. However, the duration of the Zero Hour has varied over the years. It is not possible to predict what kind of matters might be raised during Zero Hour as there is no mention of any Zero Hour in the rules of the Parliament. It is the press who coined the term Zero Hour during the early 1960s, when the practice of raising urgent matters of public importance without prior notice developed.
