Opposition days are days allocated in the House of Commons in each session for the discussion of subjects chosen by the Opposition.
There are 20 days allocated for this purpose per session and the Opposition generally uses them to raise questions of policy and administration.
Opposition days, when they are scheduled, are listed online in the Parliamentary Calendar.
