Parliamentary Form of Government: 

Parliamentary Form of Government is the system of government in which there exists an intimate and harmonious relationship between the executive and the legislative departments, and the stability and efficacy of the executive department depends on the legislature. Although the Parliamentary Government is broadly defined in the above way, in such a system the supremacy of the legislature has now been replaced by the supremacy of the cabinet. Hence, such form of government is also called the Cabinet Government. Functions: In the Parliamentary Form of Government the cabinet has to perform manifold functions. 

It is the Cabinet which: 

(a) formulates well – considered policies of the government after reviewing both the national and international issues. 

(b) takes necessary arrangements for passing laws to implement the policies formulated by it.

(c) determines the matters to be included in the agenda of the central legislature.
