\nStatement A is correct. As per Article 100(3) of the Constitution, the quorum to constitute a meeting of either House of Parliament is one-tenth of the total number of members of the House.
\nStatement B is correct. The Rules of Procedure of Parliament generally stipulate that the quorum for a meeting of a Parliamentary Committee shall be, as near as may be, one-third of the total number of members of the Committee.
\nStatement C is correct. Article 100(4) states that if at any time during a meeting of a House there is no quorum, it shall be the duty of the Chairman or Speaker to adjourn the House or suspend the meeting until there is a quorum. Similar rules apply to committees. Business cannot commence without quorum.
\nStatement D is incorrect. Quorum must be ensured by the Presiding Officer (Speaker\/Chairman or Committee Chairperson) before commencing the sitting and also when the deficiency of quorum is pointed out by a member during the sitting. The requirement of quorum is mandatory for the validity of proceedings; it is not contingent *only* on a member pointing it out. The sitting should not commence or continue without quorum, whether pointed out or not.
\n<\/section>\n
\nQuorum is the minimum number of members required to be present for a legislative body or committee to conduct valid business. It is the responsibility of the presiding officer to ensure quorum, not solely dependent on a member raising the issue.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIf a sitting commences without quorum and is later discovered, the proceedings may be invalidated. If quorum is pointed out during a sitting and is lacking, the sitting is adjourned or suspended.
