Twickenham MP Munira Wilson is due to make her second appearance on BBC Question Time tonight (23 September).

The Liberal Democrat Health & Social Care spokesperson will be joined by Grant Schapps MP and David Lammy MP for an hour of questions from the public.

Richard Walker, managing director of Iceland Foods, and the Spectator's Economics Correspondent Kate Andrews are also on the panel.

Tonight's show will go on air at 10.35pm and you can catch it on BBCOne.

The panel will be answering questions from a Cambridge audience.

[h1]What could Munira be asked?[.h2]

The Twickenham MP may be asked for her views on a Lib Dem policy to give parents of pupils catch-up vouchers worth £200 per child.

The £5 billion taxpayer-funded plan was announced this week following the party conference.

But it has been criticised by teachers as being impractical and impossible to measure.

Wilson voiced her support for it three days ago and gave her support to a ringfenced wellbeing fund as part of the voucher scheme.

[h1]What other topics will come up on Question Time tonight?[.h2]

The looming winter energy crisis and climate change are hot topics.

Consumers are facing dramatic energy tariff rises and two energy suppliers collapsed yesterday.

Price hikes could hit the elderly and fuel poor hard this winter and there are calls for the government to take action.

National papers are also reporting that this winter could see empty supermarket shelves and panic buying - and Tesco and Farmers Unions have warned of shortages in drivers and labourers.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a speech to the United Nations this morning.

He called on world leaders to take further action on emissions and stated that COP26 would be a 'turning point.'

Audience members may ask the panel about their views on the PM's speech and what actions need to be taken to solve the worsening climate crisis.

Tune in to BBC One at 10.35pm tonight to see how Twickenham's MP responds to tonight's questions!
