Opinia prawna w sprawie konsekwencji braku odpowiedzi na interpelację poselską
Journal Title: Zeszyty Prawnicze Biura Analiz Sejmowych - Year 2016, Vol 50, Issue 2
Abstract
Interpellation is one of the fundamental mechanisms ensuring parliamentary oversight of the government. An obligation to respond to interpellations is enshrined in the constitution. Information about non-response to interpellations are placed in the Information System of the Sejm. The body entrusted to supervise the execution by the government administration of the relevant obligations specified in the Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator is the Marshal of the Sejm. The predominant form of responsibility of a minister for failure to comply with the obligation to reply to an interpellation is a political responsibility, including in particular the opportunity to submit a motion of no confidence in him/her by the Sejm. Due to the constitutional nature of the obligation to give response to an interpellation, any failure to meet that obligation may also be a prerequisite for initiation of the proceedings to hold the minister constitutionally responsible.
