Context:
- Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu said that there should be a specific provision in the Rules of Business to automatically disqualify members who rush into the well of the House.
- He added that legislatures should start displaying in public domain the names of members who violate rules and disrupt House proceedings.
Legislative effectiveness
- To say that a legislature has met for 40 or 50 days and passed 30 or 40 bills gives only a brief glimpse into legislature’s functioning.
- We need a more holistic assessment of efficiency based on different parameters like the number of sittings, Bills passed, Bills held up, the extent of participation of members, duration of debates on each Bill.
