Q97
Indian PolityParliament & State Legislature
Under whose direct supervision is the Lok Sabha Secretariat?
- a.Cabinet Secretary
- b.Ministry of Parliament Affairs
- c.Speaker of Lok Sabha
- d.Prime Minister of India
Answer: (C) Speaker of Lok Sabha
Article 98 provides for a separate secretariat for each House, and the Lok Sabha Secretariat works under the direct guidance and control of the Speaker. It is independent of the executive, so the Cabinet Secretary, the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and the Prime Minister do not supervise it.
