■ Guillotine Closure ◇ GS is a parliamentary procedure which refers to the passage of a legislation without debate or discussion. ◇ Once the House is done with these debates, the Speaker applies the ‘guillotine’, and all outstanding demands for grants are put to vote at once. ◇ This usually happens on the last day earmarked for the discussion on the Budget. ◇ It is to ensure timely passage of the Finance Bill. 584 views15:31
