Hello.

"Prime Minister's Question Time" is held every Wednesday from 12:00
noon to 12:30 pm when Parliament is in session.

Sources:

"The Prime Minister now answers questions at the new time of 12 noon
for half an hour every Wednesday when Parliament is sitting."
source: Parliament
http://www.parliament.uk/works/occasion.cfm#pmques


Note that Parliament is in summer recess from 22 July 2004 to 7
September 2004, so you may want to plan to visit before then.  Also,
note that you should try to obtain a "card of introduction."  Also,
note that admission to "question time" is not guaranteed.

"Please note that such cards do not guarantee entry at 14.30 or 11.30.
 Quite often, it will not be possible to admit their bearers until
after Question Time ? that is, after 15.30 or 12.30."

I hope this helps.

It might also be worth noting that it's not always the Prime Minister
who answers "Prime Minister's Questions". If Tony Blair is abroad for
example either the Deputy Prime Minister or the Leader of the House
will answer so if you particularly want to see The Prime Minister in
action it may be worth checking his schedule.
