Policy Paper on Government Assurances in Parliament


Date of Publication: 1st March 2024

Authors: Chinmay Sanjay Bendre

Introduction:

Elected representatives elicit information from the government in a variety of ways. They can ask questions, take part in discussions, and deliberate in motions. The concerned minister might not have all the information that a house member has asked for. In such situations, they provide undertakings to study a matter, take action or provide information in the future. These promises are generally referred to as ‘government assurances’ because they are given by a minister in the house.
