STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The present emoluments of Members of Parliament are not ade- quate to meet their daily requirements . Keeping in view the rising cost of living , it would be proper if the emoluments of Members are also raised.
It seems also appropriate to extend the facility of free transit by railway to the spouses of members when members undertake journeys in connection with their parliamentary duties .
Hence this Bill .

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
In our country , members of Parliament and of the State Legisla- tures do not enjoy immunity from arrest and imprisonment , not even from detention without trial . In order to uphold the dignity of Par- liament and the Legislatures of the States as also in the public in- terest, it is necessary to provide for such members immunity from detention in custody without trial.
Hence this Bill .
