National Assembly not to approve revised Land Law this year
VOV.VN - The revised Land Law will not be passed at the ongoing sixth session of the National Assembly due to pending issues that need to be addressed before submission to the legislature at next year’s session, said National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
There are different opinions when the bill is debated, and the National Assembly’s Economic Committee should make clear these pending issues before submission to the National Assembly’s Standing Committee and then the legislature for consideration, said Hue at the 27th session of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee in Hanoi on November 16.
Relevant agencies and the Government also agreed not to endorse the bill this time, added the chairman.
As this is an important bill, he said ‘the quality should be given the top priority’ to ensure the bill, after promulgation, will not cause consequences on socio-economic activities and people’s lives.
According to Vu Hong Thanh, head of the National Assembly’s Economic Committee, members of the committee have yet to reach consensus on arguments. Eleven out of 22 deputies proposed spending more time making clear contentious issues.
The revised Land Law was debated by National Assembly deputies at the fourth, fifth and sixth sessions. It was originally expected to get the nod from the deputies at the ongoing sixth session due to be wrapped up on November 29.
