• B. Freedom from arrest in criminal cases.
• C. Control over rules and procedure of the Parliament.
• D. Punish citizens for disrupting the activity of the house.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Freedom of Speech inside the parliament.
C Control over rules and procedure of the Parliament.
D Punish citizens for disrupting the activity of the house.

The members of Parliament enjoy freedom from arrest in civil cases, not criminal cases. They cannot be arrested for forty days before and after a session of Parliament. They have control over rules of procedure concerning the internal affairs of the Parliament. The House can punish people for disrupting its activity, otherwise known as ‘Contempt of the House’.
