Answer

Three disciplinary functions of the Speaker are-

  1. The Speaker maintains order in the House. When members become unruly, he may order them to withdraw. He may suspend a member, if he/she disregards the authority of the Chair. In case of grave disorder, he can adjourn the House.
  2. In case the words used by a member are indecent or unparliamentary, the Speaker may order that such words be expunged from the proceedings of the House.
  3. The Speaker decides whether there is a case for a matter relating to a breach of privilege or contempt of the House.
