Q. Consider the following statements:
- A bill proposed by a minister is described as Government Bill.
- Under the Indian Parliamentary system, no member other than Government can propose a law in the Parliament.
Which of the above is / are correct?
Answer:
Only 1
Notes: Only the first statement is correct. In Parliament, members of Government as well as opponents can propose legislation. But the chances of such proposals to get the majority and become a law is very low. When a non-minister proposes a bill, it is called private member's Bill. A bill proposed by a minister is described as Government Bill. Thus, A is the correct answer.
