2. Consultative Committees constitute a type of Parliamentary Committee.
3. The Committee on Private Members' Bills and Resolutions is a special committee exclusive to the Lok Sabha.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct because the Constitution of India mentions parliamentary committees in different contexts, but their composition, tenure, and functions are not laid down; they are instead governed by the rules of the respective houses. Statement 2 is incorrect because consultative committees consist of members of parliament but they do not satisfy the conditions required to be recognized as formal parliamentary committees. Statement 3 is correct because the Committee on Private Members' Bills and Resolutions is a special committee specific to the Lok Sabha, whereas in the Rajya Sabha, this function is performed by the Business Advisory Committee.
