Q. Which of the following statement is NOT correct about zero hour?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation: Unlike the question hour, the zero hour is not mentioned in the Rules of Procedure.
- Thus, it is an informal device available to the members of Parliament to raise matters without any prior notice.
- The zero hour starts immediately after the question hour and lasts until the agenda for the day (ie, regular business of the House) is taken up.
- In other words, the time gap between the question hour and the agenda is known as zero hour.
- It is an Indian innovation in the field of parliamentary procedures and has been in existence since 1962.
