PREFACE

The Statistical Handbook, a publication of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, contains information/data relating to the activities of both Houses of Parliament and the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs as well. The Handbook covers the period upto December, 2017. However, some updates on legislative information/data till the Budget Session, 2018 have also been incorporated in the Hand Book. Salary, allowances etc. of MPs and pension etc. of ex-MPs have been revised since 01.4.2018 and accordingly Tables 48 and 49 have been updated suitably.

It is hoped, this Handbook will prove to be a useful document for Government officials and also will make an interesting reading for academician, students and all those who are interested to know and study the activities of Parliament.

Adequate care has been taken to make the Hand Book comprehensive and accurate. However, suggestions for improvement and correction of errors which miht have inadvertently crept into it would be duly acknowledged.

I would like to place on record my appreciation to the officers and staff of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs involved in collection and compilation of this Hand Book.

Since the Election Commission announced dates of elections to the five State Legislative Assemblies viz. (i) Tamil Nadu (ii) Kerala (iii) Puducherry (iv) Assam and (v) West Bengal, leaders of various political parties/groups in Parliament demanded that the Budget Session be re-scheduled to enable them to participate in the election campaign. Accordingly, it was mutually agreed between Opposition and Government th to reschedule the Budget Session, 2011 of Parliament to conclude on Friday, the 25 March, 2011 after completing all the essential financial business. The revised schedule provided a total of 23 sittings as against 29 sittings scheduled earlier. Therefore, no recess was held and Houses were adjourned sine-die on 25.3.2011.

$ Rajya Sabha was adjourned to meet again on 25th April, 2016 but it was prorogued on 30th March, 2016. TABLE – 12
