"Altogether, 14 bills will be placed in the House during the session which will continue for a month," Speaker Biman Bandyopadhyay said here today.

Some of the Bills to be tabled included, the Indian Stamp (West Bengal Amendment) Bill 2010, West Bengal Town and Country (Planning and Development) Amendment Bill, 2012, Howrah Improvement Amendment Bill, 2012, and West Bengal Backward Classes (other than SC and ST) Reservation of vacancies in services and posts Bill 2012.

The Indian Stamp (West Bengal Amendment) Bill 2010 was passed by the erstwhile Left Front government but the President had returned it asking for two amendments, he said.

To a question if the West Bengal Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Settlement Bill, 2012, would be tabled during the session, Bandyopadhyay said "it is yet to receive instruction for publication".

The speaker denied the allegation that the Opposition was not given adequate time in the House.
