What is a White Paper in Parliament?

A White Paper is an official document issued by the government to explain important policies, proposals, or decisions before Parliament.

It provides detailed facts, background, and the government’s reasoning on a specific issue, allowing informed debate and public transparency. 

While it has no binding legal force, a White Paper helps legislators and citizens understand complex matters and evaluate government action. 

It is often used in policy reforms, economic matters, or major administrative decisions.
