- 4. General discussion

B4, 1, 3, 2 ✓ Correct
C2, 4, 3, 1
D1, 3, 4, 2
Correct answer: (B) 4, 1, 3, 2 — The correct order is 4, 1, 3, 2.
Explanation
★The correct order is 4, 1, 3, 2.
★General discussion on the budget comes first, on the budget as a whole.
★Voting on the demands for grants of each ministry comes next.
★The Appropriation Bill follows, to authorise withdrawal from the Consolidated Fund.
★The Finance Bill comes last, to give effect to the taxation proposals.
★So the order runs general discussion, voting on grants, Appropriation Bill, then Finance Bill.
★Knowing the budget stages in order is a standard objective theme.
