Parliament of India, the Eighth Lok Sabha, 1985-89: A StudyThe Study analyses-with the help of articles by distinguished Members of Parliament and others, data, etc.-socio-economic background of the members of Eighth Lok Sabha and their participation in the work of Parliament and varied activities of the House and its committees. Major procedural developments during the Eighth Lok Sabha were the amendments to the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha as a result of the first ever comprehensive review-since 1959 when these were adopted-to bring them in conformity with the actual practice that had evolved over the years through rulings from the Chair, precedents, conventions, etc. Yet another significant development was the strengthening of the parliamentary committee system by the setting of three new standing subject Committees-one each on Agriculture, Science & Technology and Environment & Forests. Full account of all these developments and other activities of the Eighth Lok Sabha is one of the several noteworthy features of this study. The reference value of the publication is further enhanced by the detailed statements and statistical tables, supplemented by introductory notes, which presents a comparative picture of the work done by previous eight Lok Sabhas and Central Legislative Assembly since 1929. |
