Britain has been the source of parliamentary system in the world, so in India. It took almost six centuries to evolve the present parliamentary debate system. In turn, the healthy and learned parliamentary debates are the pre-requisite of sound law making. These debates even help the judiciary to interpret the intricacies and spirit of the laws. But in recent past, the quality of parliamentary debate has deteriorated. It has been observed that irregular proceedings and haphazard passing of laws has overshadowed the healthy law making process. Thus the present paper intends to compare and underline the nature of debates held in UK and India. Making of Industrial Design Act 2000, passed in Indian Parliament, has been taken as a case for examination. – Reproduced
