Consider the following statements relating to short notice estions asked in the Legislature: 1. These relate to matters of urgent public importance and can be asked for oral answer. 2. Short notice estions can be admissible if the Minister concerned agrees to answer to it 3. Short notice estions are asked during estion hour Which of the statements given above are correct?

Short Notice Questions relate to matters of urgent public importance and are answered orally (Statement 1). They require the specific agreement of the concerned Minister to accept the short notice; if the Minister declines, it cannot be admitted as a Short Notice Question (Statement 2). While procedurally taken up after the oral questions on the daily list are finished, they are broadly classified as part of the Question Hour proceedings in parliamentary practice (Statement 3).
