Point of Order

A Point of Order is a request made by a member of Parliament when they believe the rules or procedures of the House are not being followed correctly.

  • It focuses on whether the business being conducted is following the rules or the Constitution.
  • A Point of Order can only be raised if the proceedings are not in order.
  • The Speaker decides whether the Point of Order is valid.
  • No debate is allowed on a Point of Order, and it temporarily stops the regular discussion in the House.

In short, it is a way for members to make sure everything is being done according to the rules.

Half-an-Hour Discussion

A Half-an-Hour Discussion is a short talk in Parliament about an important issue that needs more explanation or facts.
