Explanation
The provisions regarding the Secretariat of Parliament are contained in Article 98 of the Constitution of India. According to Article 98(1), each House of Parliament shall have a separate secretarial staff. However, the proviso to this clause specifies that it does not prevent the creation of posts common to both Houses of Parliament. Thus, statement 1 is correct.
Article 98(2) states that Parliament may by law regulate the recruitment and the conditions of service of persons appointed to the secretarial staff of either House. Until such a law is enacted, the President may make rules for these purposes under Article 98(3) after consulting the Speaker of the Lok Sabha or the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Therefore, statement 2 is also correct. As both statements are constitutionally valid, the correct answer is D.
