.....................................

Question Hour is the first hour of a sitting session of India's Lok Sabha devoted to questions that Members of Parliament raise about any aspect of administrative activity. The concerned Minister is obliged to answer to the Parliament, either orally or in writing, depending on the type of question raised. Questions are one of the ways Parliament can hold the Executive accountable.

TYPES OF QUESTIONS

There are two main types of question—Starred and non-starred. Starred Questions are those for which an oral answer is expected. The member is allowed to ask a supplementary question, with the permission of the Speaker, after the reply is obtained from the Minister concerned. Non-starred questions are those for which a written reply is expected. After the reply has been provided, no supplementary question can be asked. A notice period is to be given to the minister to reply to a question. However, if a Member seeks to ask a question urgently and cannot wait for the duration of the notice period, then the member can do so provided it is accepted by the Speaker. Such questions are called supplementary questions.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Parliament begins with a question hour. The question hour is an important mechanism through

which MPs can elicit information about the working of the government. By asking questions the

government is alerted to its shortcomings. The government also comes to know the opinion of the

people through their representatives in the Parliament (the MPs). In all matters dealing with finances,

the Parliament’s approval is crucial for the government.
