After a member rises to a point of parliamentary inquiry, the president should direct his/her attention to that member and say, 'Inform me of your inquiry.'

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if necessary
• D. The president should ignore the inquiry

Answer: (B)

In parliamentary procedure, when a member rises for a parliamentary inquiry, the chair should recognize that member and invite them to state their question. The proper approach is to ask, “What is your parliamentary inquiry?” or “Please state your inquiry.” The phrase “Inform me of your inquiry” isn’t the standard way to prompt the question and can delay or obscure the exact issue to be addressed. So the described action isn’t correct; the correct move is to recognize the member and invite them to state their inquiry clearly.
