An incorrectly used term for the report of the majority of the members of a committee is which term?

• A. Majority report
• B. Committee report
• C. Subcommittee report
• D. Delegation report

Answer: (A)

In parliamentary practice, the label used for the findings a committee presents to the body is simply the committee report. If there’s a dissenting view, it may be issued as a minority report, separate from the committee’s main findings. The expression “majority report” isn’t the standard term for the majority’s conclusions; it implies a distinct kind of report that isn’t recognized in normal usage. Therefore, calling it the majority report is the incorrect term. The other options align with actual practice: a subcommittee report comes from a subcommittee to its parent committee, and a committee report is the ordinary label for the committee’s conclusions.
