| Summary, etc. |
It is an accepted assumption that parliamentary questions are a method for holding governments accountable. In a parliamentary system of government, from a principal-agent standpoint, citizens entrust authority to the legislature, and the Parliament in turn delegates authority to the executive. This accountability ensured through parliamentary debates and questions is an important control mechanism and functions as the authority of the parliament to hold this executive accountable. It is an important instrument in the hands of the members to ensure answerability of the administration for its acts of omission or commission to the Parliament and the people. - Reproduced. |
