Option 1: A leave of the House is required to move it

This statement is correct. In order to move a Censure Motion, a Member of Parliament needs to seek the leave (permission) of the House. If the House grants leave, then the motion can be moved and discussed.

Option 2: The Government is free to fix time and date for its discussion

This statement is incorrect. It is the Speaker of the House who determines the time and date for the discussion of a Censure Motion. The Government does not have the authority to fix the schedule for its own censure.

Option 3: It can also be moved against the entirety of the Council of Ministers

This statement is correct. A Censure Motion can be moved against the entire Council of Ministers. It is a way for the Parliament to express its lack of confidence in the government as a whole.

Option 4: The Speaker decides whether the motion is in order

This statement is correct. The Speaker of the House is responsible for deciding whether a Censure Motion is in order and can be accepted for discussion. The Speaker ensures that the motion meets the required conditions before it can proceed.
