Answers
for Half an Hour Discussion
1. Members have a right to get information from the Government on any matter of public concern by means of questions to Ministers. When a member feels that the answer given to a question, Starred or Unstarred or Short Notice, is not complete or does not give the desired information or needs elucidation on a matter of fact, he may be allowed by the Speaker to raise a discussion in the House for half an hour. The procedure is, therefore, termed as ‘Half-an-Hour Discussion’.
2. Half-an-Hour Discussions are generally held on the three sittings in a week; namely, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. While specifying the date of discussion, member should ensure that the date of discussion falls on any of the above three sittings. In case, where wrong dates are given by the members, the notice will be deemed to have been given for the next available date.
3. No Half-an-Hour Discussion is fixed on the first day of the session. Half-an-Hour Discussions are also not usually held during the Budget Session till the disposal of financial business.
4. A member wishing to raise Half-an-Hour Discussion should give notice in writing, in the prescribed printed form available in the Parliamentary Notice Office. The notice should be addressed to the Secretary-General.
5. While giving notice, the member should indicate in the form at the appropriate places the Question number (in reply to which further elucidation is required), with its date of answer. The point or points desired to be raised for seeking further clarifications should also be specified briefly. The member should write his name in block letters below the signature and should also mention his Division Number.
6. The member should also indicate in the notice the date on which he wishes to raise discussion.
7. A notice is also required to be accompanied by an explanatory note stating the reasons for raising discussion and should also be signed. In cases where such explanatory notes are not furnished by the members, the notices are returned to them.
