Q. Consider the following pairs regarding Closure Motion:
Types of Closure Motion Description
1. Simple Closure a member moves it when the ‘matter having been sufficiently discussed be now put to vote’
2. Closure by Compartments nbsp; clauses of a bill or a lengthy resolution are grouped into parts before the debate and the entire part is put to vote
3. Guillotine Closure only important clauses are taken up for debate and voting and the intervening clauses are taken as passed.
4. Kangaroo Closure undiscussed clauses of a bill or a resolution are also put to vote along with the discussed ones
How many pairs given above are correctly matched?
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Closure motion is moved by a member to cut short the debate on a matter before the House. If the motion is approved by the House, debate is stopped forthwith and the matter is put to vote.
Pair 1 is correctly matched: Simple Closure is closing debate when a member moves it when the ‘matter having been sufficiently discussed be now put to vote’.
Pair 2 is correctly matched: Closure by Compartment happens when the clauses of a bill or a lengthy resolution are grouped into parts before the commencement of the debate. The debate covers the part as a whole and the entire part is put to vote.
Pair 3 is incorrectly matched: Guillotine Closure is one when the undiscussed clauses of a bill or a resolution are also put to vote along with the discussed ones due to want of time (as the time allotted for the discussion is over).
Pair 4 is incorrectly matched: Kangaroo Closure happens only when important clauses are taken up for debate and voting and the intervening clauses are skipped over and taken as passed.
