How has the system of parliamentary committee affected the overseeing and appraisal of legislation by the Parliament?

Answer

 The Parliament meets only for sessions, hence it has limited time to consider a bill
in depth.
 Parliament committees have been set up since 1983 in the various departments to
discuss the particular bill.
 These committees include business advisory committees, estimate committee, the
public accounts committee, etc.
 These committees have reduced the burden of Parliament as they gather whole
information on the bill and can ask any member to appear before it.
 After that committee sends its report, the Parliament debates on it as well as provide
some necessary recommendations and approve it.
 Without the approval of Parliament, no bill can become a law, but any suggestion is
rarely rejected.
