Parliament's overseas excursion system may need review: Somsak

House Speaker Somsak Kiatsuranont said Wednesday that he would have the House committee's overseas excursion system reviewed if investigators found his recent trip to Europe unacceptable.

 

Somsak added he was okay with the House Committee on Parliamentary Affairs investigating the trip following criticism that the excursion featured extravagant hotel stays and functions, expensive football matches and that members of the entourage were selected on grounds of favouritism. 
The committee has yet to summon the House Speaker for questioning since he returned from the controversial trip.
