UPSC 2007: Consider the following statements: 1. The Chairman of the Committee on Public Accounts is appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. 2. The Committee on Public Accounts comprises members of the Lok Sabha, members of the Rajya Sabha, and a few eminent persons of the industry and trade. Which of the statements given above are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has 22 members – 15 from the Lok Sabha and 7 from the Rajya Sabha; no outsiders are included, so statement 2 is incorrect. Under Rule 308 of Lok Sabha Rules, the Speaker appoints the PAC’s chairperson (now conventionally from the Opposition), so statement 1 is correct. Hence only statement 1 is right.
