NEW DELHI, DEC 13, 2015: EXTERNAL Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will make a Statement on her recent visit to  Islamabad and developments relating to ties between India and Pakistan in both the Houses of Parliament during the next week of Winter session of Parliament. This is one of the major agenda items for next week.

In the Lok Sabha, the Government has proposed to take up nine items of legislative and financial business during next week. Of these, time has been allotted for seven items.  A heavy agenda of 16 items are due to be taken up in Rajya Sabha which lagged behind Lok Sabha in transaction of business this week due to disruptions and forced adjournments.

Since the commencement of this Winter session on November 26, Lok Sabha has passed 6 Bills while 6 new Bills were introduced. In Rajya Sabha, only one Bill could be passed while no new Bills were introduced.
