520			_aGiving a brief conceptual framework on governmental accountability through parliamentary committee system under the Westminster model of democracy (the framework extends to most of Third World democracies), the author explores the relationship between the two. Imparting focus on departmentally-related parliamentary committees (DPCs), which shadow activities of respective government departments, he identifies the factors behind their popularity,specifies measures to promote governmental accountability through them, and examines their comparative advantages over individual devices of enforcing accountability of government (without discarding the importance and usefulness of these devices). He then, finally, looks at the structural and behavioural aspects of operationalising efficacy of the tool of DPCs. - Reproduced
