[amp_mcq option1=”No confidence motion” option2=”Censure motion” option3=”Privilege motion” option4=”Cut motion” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is C. Privilege motion.
A privilege motion is a motion moved by a Member of Parliament when he feels a minister has committed a breach of privilege of the House. It is a serious matter and can lead to the minister being suspended or even expelled from the House.
A no confidence motion is a motion moved by a Member of Parliament when he feels the government has lost the confidence of the House. If the motion is passed, the government must resign.
A censure motion is a motion moved by a Member of Parliament when he feels a minister has acted in a way that is not in the best interests of the country. It is a less serious matter than a privilege motion, but can still lead to the minister being censured by the House.
A cut motion is a motion moved by a Member of Parliament when he feels the government is spending too much money on a particular item. If the motion is passed, the government must reduce its spending on that item.
