Next House meeting slated for December 26

The House is scheduled to convene its first meeting on December 26 following the resumption of the legislative session.

 

The government yesterday released the Royal command for resuming the legislative session effective Friday after a month-long recess.
Lawmakers are expected to debate some 40 bills left incomplete in the previous session.
Among the key items on the agenda is the final passage of legislation for the prevention and suppression of international criminal organisations.
Coalition chief whip Udomdej Rattanasatien said the coalition would not push to revive the debate on the controversial reconciliation bill.
The bill was put on hold early this year due to strong opposition fuelled by suspicions of an ulterior motive to grant amnesty to fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
