Govt agrees to written questions

New Delhi, September 3

Amid Opposition pressure against doing away with Question Hour in the coming monsoon session of Parliament, the government has announced to answer questions in the written format (un-starred).

The session is scheduled between September 14 and October 1 without any break, with the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha holding a four-hour meeting each day during separate time slots.

On Wednesday, the parliamentary bulletin gave schedule for ministries, listing days on which questions will be taken up for written replies.

The questions will be selected via ballot. The LS was scheduled to do so today and the RS tomorrow. The RS Research Division said the House lost 60 per cent of Question Hour time due to disruptions in 5 years. — TNS
