在議會實踐中, previous question 是在議長提出主要問題之前提出的問題,詢問是否應對主要問題進行投票。
The great remedy against prolix or obstructive debate is the so called previous question, which is moved in the form, "Shall the main question be now put?" and when ordered closes forthwith all debate, and brings the House to a direct vote on that main question. ... Closure by previous question, first established in 1811, is in daily use, and is considered so essential to the progress of business that I never found any member or official willing to dispense with it. Even the senators, who object to its introduction into their own much smaller chamber, agree that it must exist in a large body like the House. [James Bryce, "The American Commonwealth," vol. I., 1893]
防止冗長或阻礙性辯論的重要措施是所謂的先前問題,其形式爲“現在是否應提出主要問題?”當被命令時,立即結束所有辯論,並使議會對主要問題進行直接投票。...先前問題的關閉,最初於1811年建立,現已日常使用,並被認爲對業務進展至關重要,以至於我從未發現任何成員或官員願意放棄它。即使是反對將其引入自己的較小議會的參議員們也同意,在像衆議院這樣的大團體中必須存在。[詹姆斯·布萊斯,《美國共和國》,第一卷,1893年]
