Excellent point!

According to Parliament website, overseas visitors are still allowed to watch Parliament in session. See below

My misunderstanding. I confused the ticket policy for Question Time with "General Admission".

Looks like you can que after the UK residents with tickets to Question Time are admitted. If you can stand the wait, it is well worthwhile. Other times are rather dull in comparison.

We were there in June 2006 and were able to enter the Parliament and watch a session. Very Interesting.
