BBC Question Time tonight: Who is on the panel, where is it and what might be discussed?

This week’s Question Time will not be short of topics as host Fiona Bruce and panellists delve into a number of topics. The programme will be live from London.

Among the topics panellists are likely to be questioned on is the controversial UK illegal immigration bill. The bill has caused a stir in the political world with some questioning how legal and ethical it is, with the EU warning the bill ‘violates international law.’

Panellists are also likely to be asked their opinions on Gary Liniker’s tweet about the illegal immigration bill and thoughts around impartiality and the BBC. The ex-footballer caused controversy by comparing language around the bill to that used by 1930’s Germany, in a tweet which he has refused to delete.

Elsewhere in the news, panellists could look ahead to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s spring budget, which is set to take place next week. It is rumoured that the Chancellor will extend the current Energy Price Guarantee until July, with energy prices an ever present talking point.

BBC Question Time will be on television on BBC One at 10.45pm tonight.
