Standing Committee on Rules of Procedure

Speaker as ex officio Chairman is confirmed by two independent primary sources: Wikipedia's 'Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad' article (states the Speaker 'is the ex officio Chairman of two important committees viz. the Business Advisory Committee and the Committee on Rules of Procedure') and Banglapedia's 'Parliamentary Committees' article. The constitution date of 2026-03-12 is inferred from BSS (js-session/368255) reporting five house management committees formed that day; the BSS article labels the committee as 'Parliamentary Committee' without specifying 'Rules of Procedure' by full name, but contextually this is one of the five standard procedural committees (Business Advisory, Rules of Procedure, Privileges, Private Members' Bills, and House) constituted in every parliament's first sitting. The five-committee figure from BSS matches the standard set. established_year is 1974 (the year the Rules of Procedure were first framed, per Banglapedia), not 2026, because this is an institutional body that predates the 13th JS; each parliament reconstitutes it. The precise Part/Rule number within the Rules of Procedure establishing this committee was not retrievable from publicly accessible sources (parliament.gov.bd was unreachable during verification; the MRDI PDF was behind a 403); the legal_basis cites Article 75(1) of the Constitution and Part XXIV of the Rules of Procedure based on the known 29-part structure and the fact that Part XXIV is the locus of committee-on-procedure provisions confirmed by multiple secondary sources. No committee meetings or rules amendment activity for the 13th JS have been reported in the 90-day window. The task prompt referenced discussions on allowing non-ruling-party committee chairs and July-protest accountability mechanisms; no source links these reform debates directly to action by this committee in the 13th JS window, so they are not asserted. Bangla name from standard parliamentary terminology.
