These times are approximate since there is a section before for "business questions", meaning the internal business of the Houses of Parliament. That can be very short or quite long since it's a way of an MP asking "Can we please have a debate on X which is so important for my long sufferring constituents in Lower Beeding in the Marsh". Some weeks this just doesn't happen.
