Explain the following terms:

(a) Starred Questions

(b) Unstarred Questions

(c) An Adjournment Motion

(d) Speaker's Casting Vote

(a) Starred Questions — Starred Questions are those to which a member wishes to have an oral answer on the floor of the House. Such questions are distinguished by an asterisk. Supplementary questions may be asked after replies to such questions given by the Ministers.

(b) Unstarred Questions — Unstarred Questions do not carry an asterisk mark. Answers to them are given in a written form. No supplementary questions can be asked thereon.

(c) An Adjournment Motion — An Adjournment Motion proposes that the House should lay aside all other business and take up the consideration of "a matter of urgent public importance." Such a Motion interrupts the normal business of the House. Therefore, the Speaker applies a rigorous test for the admissibility of Adjournment Motions.

(d) Speaker's Casting Vote — A Casting Vote is the Vote that the Speaker or Chairman gives when equal number of votes have been given for and against a Bill or a Resolution. This Vote decides whether or not the Bill or Resolution will be passed.
