Q. A member uses this device when the proceedings of the House do not follow the normal rules of procedure.

Which one of the following parliamentary instruments is correctly described in the above paragraph?
Answer: B
Notes:
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Option b is correct. A member can raise a point of order when the proceedings of the House do not follow the normal rules of procedure. A point of order should relate to the interpretation or enforcement of the Rules of the House or such articles of the Constitution that regulate the business of the House and should raise a question that is within the cognizance of the Speaker. It is usually raised by an opposition member in order to control the government. It is an extraordinary device as it suspends the proceedings before the House. No debate is allowed on a point of order.
