Answer
Exam answer
(a) Ask question..
Explanation
Interpellation is the right of members to QUESTION the ministers about the working of their departments. The chief device is the Question Hour — the first hour of every sitting — along with Calling Attention Notices and Half-an-Hour discussions. It matters because it is one of the main ways Parliament controls the executive: ministers are BOUND to answer, so the government is kept publicly accountable.
