Quiz of The Week: 7 - 13 May
Have you been paying attention to The Week’s news?

Prince Charles announced 38 new bills that the government intends to pass in the coming year, as Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party seek to reinvigorate their government following “Partygate” and a disappointing performance in the local elections.
