2. WHAT IS SENATE BUSINESS?
• Generally its business has been divided into legislative
business and private members business. The business is
referred to the parliamentary working groups whereas
legislative business is directed to the Governmental Bills,
declarations, alterations, and other decrees which
come in progress when a minister through orders of the
day initiated them. The governmental bills, declarations,
alterations and other decrees other than ministers are
initiated by the private members. Before making change
in any bill or any constitutional alterations, which a
private member is allowed to do so, it is directed as to
notify 10 days before about his or her intentions. The
discern has to go together with the Bill, the Statement of
Objects and Reasons and is to be introduced on a day
