Union List Subjects in Schedule VII
The Constitution of India, under Schedule VII, divides legislative powers between the Union (Central) government and the State governments. This division is primarily organized into three lists:
- Union List (List I): Subjects under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Union government.
- State List (List II): Subjects under the exclusive jurisdiction of the State governments.
- Concurrent List (List III): Subjects where both the Union and State governments can legislate.
The question specifies that the list deals solely with matters of national importance, citing defence and foreign affairs as examples. These subjects require uniform policy and central control for the security and integrity of the nation. Such subjects are exclusively assigned to the Union government under the Constitution.
Therefore, the Union List in Schedule VII contains subjects of national importance like defence and foreign affairs.
