Which Law Officer holds the right to speak in both the Houses of Parliament?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Article 88 permits the Attorney-General to speak and otherwise participate in either House, joint sittings and a parliamentary committee of which the Attorney-General is named a member. The entitlement does not carry a vote by virtue of that article. The Solicitor-General’s office does not receive the same constitutional participation right.
