How has the system of parliamentary committee affected the overseeing and appraisal of legislation by the Parliament?
The
system of parliamentary committee has influenced the overseeing and
appraisal of legislation by the Parliament as most of decisions
regarding the technical points of legislation are referred to these
committees. The Parliament rarely rejects any of the suggestions
made by the committee.
There
are twenty Standing Committees related to various departments that
work on the issues related to budget and its expenditure related to
their respective departments. These committees also supervise the
bills related to their department that come in the house. The Joint
Parliamentary Committees investigate financial irregularities.
Thus,
parliamentary committees have reduced the burden on the legislature
and saved time as the Parliament meets only for a limited time
during its sessions. However, on most occasions, the Parliament
makes only minor alterations to the draft of the bills while
approving them. This has diluted the Parliament’s appraisal of
legislations to a large extent.
