What type of motion can interrupt any pending business due to its importance?

Privileged motions hold a significant role in parliamentary procedure because they can interrupt any pending business due to their urgent or important nature. These motions address issues that require immediate attention, often relating to the comfort, welfare, or urgent needs of the assembly or members. For instance, motions to adjourn or motions for a recess are examples of privileged motions that can be raised even when other discussions are ongoing. This characteristic distinguishes them from the other types of motions, which either relate more to the main issues being discussed or to specific procedural matters without the same level of urgency attached.
