The Winter session of Parliament will start from November 24 and conclude on December 23 during which a heavy legislative agenda is on the cards.

The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs headed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh today recommended the dates to the President.

The month-long session will have a total of 22 sittings in which four days have been earmarked for Private Members' business.

A total of 67 bills -- 59 in Rajya Sabha and eight in Lok Sabha -- are pending and the government will push for passage of "at least 30 to 35" legislations, a senior minister said.

This will be the second major session since the Narendra Modi Government took over in May.

The long wait for finalisation of seating arrangement in Lok Sabha is expected to be over before the session commences, almost six months after the constitution of the new House.
