Question Hour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Question Hour is the first hour in India's Lok Sabha devoted to questions. During this hour members can raise questions about any aspect of administrative activity.
This sort of a process where elected representatives ask questions that are replied by the Prime Minister or other government ministers is part of parlimentary tradition in many other countries. The Question Hour in the Indian Parliament is similar to the Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, the First Minister's Questions in the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales, the Question Period in the federal Parliament and provincial legislatures of Canada and the Question Time in Australia and New Zealand.
