Time immediately following the Question Hour is known as Zero Hour. It starts at 12:00 in noon, that is why it is called "Zero Hour". It is an Indian innovation in the field of Parliamentary practices. During Zero Hour members of Parliament with prior permission of presiding officer can raise matters of public importance even if it is not listed in the day's order paper.
