UPSC Paper 1 Mock Test - 33 - Question 2

Which of the following pairs are NOT correctly matched?

1. Call Attention Motion: To draw attention of the minister on a matter of urgent public importance
2. Adjourment Motion: To adjourn the house before the expiry of the time
3. Privilege Motion: To draw attention of the Speaker towards incorrect/incomplete answer by a minister
4. Cut Motion: To move a proposal to reduce expenditure in the Budget Proposals

Detailed Solution for UPSC Paper 1 Mock Test - 33 - Question 2

The correct option is Option D.
Adjournment motion involves an element of censure against the government and hence Rajya Sabha is not permitted to make use of this device. There is a similar tool in Rajya Sabha which is called “Calling Attention”. Calling attention has no such element. It is introduced in the Parliament by a member to call the attention of a minister to a matter of urgent public importance, and to seek an authoritative statement from him on that matter.
A privileged motion is a motion that is granted precedence over ordinary business because it concerns matters of great importance or urgency. Such motions are not debatable, although in case of questions of privilege, the chair may feel the need to elicit relevant facts from members.
