Explanation:

These committees of Parliament scrutinize the activities of the executive. Statement 1: This is done by “Committee on Papers Laid on the Table”. The subordinate legislation committee examines and reports to the House whether the powers to make regulations, rules, sub-rules and bye-laws delegated by the Parliament or conferred by the Constitution to the Executive are being properly exercised by it.

Statement 2: This committee examines the assurances, promises and undertakings given by ministers from time to time on the floor of the House and reports on the extent to which they have been carried through. Learning: Committee on Papers Laid on the Table examines all papers laid on the table of the House by ministers to see whether they comply with provisions of the Constitution, or the related Act or Rule. It does not examine statutory notifications and orders that fall under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Subordinate Legislation.
