With reference to the Parliament of India, which of the following Parliamentary Committees scrutinizes and reports to the House whether the powers to make regulations, rules, sub-rules, by-laws, etc. conferred by the Constitution or delegated by the Parliament are being properly exercised by the Executive within the scope of such delegation?
(a) Committee on Government Assurances · (b) Committee on Subordinate Legislation · (c) Rules Committee · (d) Business Advisory Committee
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) अधीनस्थ विधान संबंधी समिति
Laws passed by Parliament often leave the details to the executive, which fills them in through rules, regulations and bye-laws. Each House has a Committee on Subordinate Legislation to check that this delegated power is used only within the limits Parliament or the Constitution set.
- ✓ (b) In the Rajya Sabha this committee is constituted under Rules 204–206 of its Rules of Procedure; the Lok Sabha has its own committee of the same name.
- ✗ (a) The Committee on Government Assurances tracks whether promises and undertakings given by Ministers on the floor of the House are carried out.
- ✗ (c) The Rules Committee considers the House's own rules of procedure and conduct of business and recommends amendments; it does not examine executive rule-making.
Remember · Delegated (subordinate) legislation = rules, regulations, bye-laws made by the executive under an Act; watched over by the Committee on Subordinate Legislation in each House.
