New Delhi: As many as
seven bills were introduced and seven were passed in the
month-long winter session from Nov 22-Dec 20, Lok Sabha Speaker
Meira Kumar said while adjourning the lower house of parliament
sine die Thursday.
Among the important bills passed were the Banking Laws (Amendment)
Bill, 2012, the Companies Bill, 2012, and the Constitution (One
Hundred-Eighteenth Amendment) Bill, 2012 (Insertion of new article
371J), said the speaker.
During the session, the house sat late for 11 hours and 27 minutes
but lost over 59 hours due to interruptions followed by forced
adjournments.
The session also approved Supplementary Demands for Grants
(General) for 2012-13 and passed the related Appropriation Bill.
During the session, three important matters were raised by way of
Calling Attention -- spread of dengue and chikungunya, plight of
coconut growers of Tamil Nadu and dilution of Jute Packaging
Materials (Compulsory Use) Act, 1987.
The bill promising reservation to Dalits and tribals in job
promotions could not be passed despite several adjournments as the
Samajwadi Party (SP) and the BJP members disrupted proceedings.
The Rajya Sabha was also adjourned sine die after it too passed
the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2012.
