A quick definition of question of privilege:

Question of Privilege: A question that is asked to someone who is testifying. It is a specific type of question that is used in legal proceedings. It is abbreviated as Q.

A more thorough explanation:

A question of privilege is a type of question that is raised in a parliamentary setting. It is a request made by a member of a legislative body to address a matter that affects their rights or privileges as a member. This type of question takes precedence over other business and is usually dealt with immediately.

During a parliamentary session, a member of the legislative body raises a question of privilege to address an issue that affects their ability to perform their duties. For example, if a member feels that their freedom of speech has been violated, they may raise a question of privilege to address the matter.

Another example of a question of privilege could be if a member feels that their safety or security has been compromised while performing their duties. They may raise a question of privilege to address the issue and seek protection.

These examples illustrate how a question of privilege is used to address matters that affect the rights and privileges of members of a legislative body. It is an important tool that allows members to protect their ability to perform their duties and ensure that their rights are respected.
