Thailand’s House speaker assures debate on Referendum Bill will be held next Tuesday

House Speaker Chuan Leekpai has given an assurance that parliament will proceed with the debate on the Referendum Bill next Tuesday, June 22nd, as scheduled, after a reported attempt by pro-government parties to delay the bill and to progress a motion to amend the Constitution.

He said today that he decided to schedule the debate on the constitutional amendment motions, separately proposed by the opposition and government parties, after the debate on the Referendum and Narcotics Bills, because he wants the two opposing camps to scrutinize their proposed charter amendments carefully, to make sure that they are properly drafted.

He also said that, if the debate on the proposed charter amendments motion is not completed on June 23rd, it can continue the following day.
