Duration of second session of Majlis to be reduced

The General Purpose Committee of People’s Majlis has voted to reduce the duration of the second session of the People’s Majlis for the current year.

The General Purpose Committee passed the decision with the majority vote during the committee meeting held last Tuesday.

The Majlis Regulation states the second session of the Majlis as June to end of August.

General Purpose Committee has amended the regulation and cut down the duration of the second session from June to August 16.

The duration of the third session has also been amended from August 27 to end of November, instead of the usual October 1 to end of November.

The work of the Majlis is carried out in three sessions. No amendment has been made to the duration of the first session of the Majlis.

Majlis is scheduled to vote on the two amendments this Wednesday.
