The House of Representatives voted 272 to 2 to move the four reconciliation bills to top the meeting agenda so that they could be deliberated Friday morning.
An MP abstained and another was present but did not cast any type of the vote.
The four bills will be deliberated when the House convenes a meeting at 9:30 am Friday.
House Speaker Somsak Kiartsurasnon closed the meeting immediately after the voting.
During the vote, parliament policemen rushed out to surround the chairman’s bench to prevent Democrat MPs from rushing in to attack the speaker.
Some Democrat MPs were seen throwing copies of documents and books at the House speaker while he was rushing out of the assembly hall after the meeting was closed.
