New Delhi (TIP)- Six new Bills, including the one to amend the disaster management law, will be presented during the Monsoon Session of Parliament beginning next week.
Besides the Finance Bill, the government has also listed the Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak, 2024, to replace the Aircraft Act of 1934 to provide enabling provisions for ease of doing business in the civil aviation sector.
The list of Bills was published in the Parliament bulletin issued by the Lok Sabha secretariat on Thursday evening. The Monsoon Session begins on July 22 and will continue till August 12.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to present the Union Budget on Tuesday, July 23. Other Bills listed for introduction and passage during the session are The Boilers Bill to replace the pre-independence era law, the Coffee (Promotion and Development) Bill and the Rubber (Promotion and Development) Bill.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also constituted the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), which decides the parliamentary agenda.
The committee chaired by the Speaker has Sudip Bandyopadhyay (TMC), P P Chaudhary (BJP), Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu (TDP), Nishikant Dubey (BJP), Gaurav Gogoi (Congress), Sanjay Jaiswal (BJP), Dileshwar Kamait (JD-U), Bhartruhari Mahtab (BJP), Dayanidhi Maran (DMK), Baijayant Panda (BJP), Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena-UBT), Kodikunnil Suresh (Congress), Anurag Thakur (BJP) and Lalji Verma (SP) as members.
Ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha secretariat has reminded lawmakers about a number of customs and conventions, pointing out that “reference to officers of either House in debates is improper” and that “rulings given by the Chair should not be criticised directly or indirectly inside or outside the House”.
A bulletin issued by the Table Office of the Rajya Sabha on Monday has mentioned a total of 28 conventions and etiquette that are usually practised in Parliament. Even as none of the conventions mentioned is unknown or new, the bulletin assumes importance as the Upper House has often faced major violations of these well-established norms during protests.
