NEW DELHI: A bill to prohibit non-vegetarian food at all government programmes and another to prevent bribery in the private sector are among the list of private member’s bills that will be discussed in the upcoming winter session of Parliament.

A total of 20 bills from members have been listed for discussion in this session, according to a Lok Sabha notification. While most private member bills are rejected after a brief discussion, 14 such pieces of legislation have so far been passed in Parliament since Independence. The last one was approved in 1970.
