Parliamentary whips to decide on extension of budget debate

 

 

Parliamentary whips from both sides are expected to continue discussing the Opposition’s proposal for an extension, into next week, of the budget bill debate for the 2020 fiscal year. The original scheduled called for the debate to end tonight (Friday).

 

Opposition chief whip, Suthin Klangsaeng, repeated today that there was no way that the Opposition would be able to complete the debate on all the 55 sections of the budget bill today.

 

He urged government whips to be realistic and to give the Opposition more time to do their job, adding that several opposition MPs planned to return to their constituencies to be with their families on National Children’s Day on Saturday.
