established_year set to 1972: the first sitting of the Jatiya Sangsad under the Constitution of Bangladesh was on 7 April 1973 (after the March 1973 general election), but the institution derives its constitutional existence from the Constitution adopted 4 November 1972, hence 1972. The Constituent Assembly (from April 1972) is the precursor body, not the Jatiya Sangsad proper. Speaker full name: Major (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikram; sources use both 'Ahmad' and 'Ahmed' spellings interchangeably — 'Ahmed' used here per parliament.gov.bd speaker page. Deputy Speaker: Barrister Kayser Kamal, MP from Netrakona-1, BNP law affairs secretary; first-time MP. 91-bill count confirmed by BSS (state news), Dhaka Tribune, and TBS; the '97 unchanged' figure cited in BSS news/377040 refers to the committee's recommendation count, not the final bill count (some were combined or repackaged). The 4 repealed ordinances include the SC Judge Appointment Ordinance 2025; the other three repeal ordinances not individually named in sources searched. annual_budget_bdt and staff_count omitted: parliament secretariat budget not independently verifiable from accessible sources — per data integrity rules no unverified estimate is preferable.
