Question

Mention four of Administrative or Executive Powers. 

Answer 1

The four Administrative or Executive Powers of the Union Parliament are:

1. Monetary Controls: The Parliament can move a cut motion when the Union Budget is under consideration. The Parliamentary Committee ensures that the public money is spent in accordance with Parliament’s decision.
2. Censure Motion and No Confidence Motion: If the Parliament disapproves of some action policy of the Union Council of its members they can move a Censure Motion which would result in the resignation of the government and against an individual would not have that effect. They can also carry out a No-Confidence Motion.
3. Adjournment Motion: The routine business of the Parliament can be postponed by this and the House can discuss the government for its acts of omission or commission.
4. Question Hour: Through this the parliament seeks information from the Governement about its policies and performance. The first hour in both Houses is allotted for this.
5. Other Motions of Censure: The Parliament has power over the government through motions that, if passed, amount to no-confidence. Examples include censure motions against ministers, rejection of government bills, and passage of private member's bills against the government's intentions.
