Which one of the following statements with regard to Censure Motion is NOT correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

A Censure Motion is a parliamentary tool used to express disapproval of specific policies or actions of the government. Unlike a No-Confidence Motion, which requires the support of at least 50 members to be admitted (leave of the House), a Censure Motion does not require the leave of the House to be moved [4]. It can be moved against an individual minister, a group of ministers, or the entire Council of Ministers [3]. The Speaker determines if the motion is in order according to the rules of the House [4]. Once admitted, the Government is responsible for fixing the date and time for its discussion, as it is a substantive motion that requires the government to defend its specific actions or policies. Therefore, the statement that 'leave of the House is required' is incorrect.
