Question

The time gap between the question hour and the agenda is known as zero hour.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Zero hour is neither mentioned in the Constitution nor the Rules of Procedure of the Houses. It is an Indian innovation in the field of parliamentary procedures and has been in existence since 1962. It is an informal device available to the members of the Parliament to raise matters without any prior notice. It starts immediately after the question hour and lasts until the agenda for the day is taken up.
