In the context of parliamentary institution, it is an inherent and inalienable right of a member of parliament to elicit information from the government on a matter of public interest in order to enable him to discharge his duty Enjoined by the constitution. It is a unique parliamentary device to exercise surveillance over the administration. It is an important instrument in the hands of the members of parliament to ensure answerability and accountability of the administration for its active commission to the parliament and the people. The entire range of governmental activities comes under the scrutiny of parliament by this procedure. (Rules 32 to54 and Direction 10 to18).

- Until 1921, the Governor-General used to preside over the deliberations of the Legislative Council. In that year, the Council gave place to the Legislative Assembly and its deliberations began to be conducted by an officer known as President. In 1947, the designation was changed to Speaker. The term ?Speaker? has, however, been used throughout in the text.
