Legal documents that stipulate parliament's role.
The traditional means of parliamentary control that individual Members may exercise at the plenary session are the interpellations, questions and instantaneous questions. The special weight of an interpellation lies in the follow-up it requires: if the MP does not accept the answer he was given, the National Assembly takes a vote, and if this vote is negative, the issue raised in the interpellation comes back to the plenary in the form of a report submitted by the investigating committee. Members of Parliament also have other means to control the Government. These include speeches made outside the orders of the day, and in particular speeches before the orders of the day broadcast by television and radio.
