Presenting the agenda change proposal, NASecretary General Bui Van Cuong said the draft was initially scheduled to bevoted on at the sitting on November 29 morning.
At a meeting held on November 16 in the intervalbetween two phases of the sixth session, the NA Standing Committee scrutinisedthe bill and relevant opinions from legislators and agencies.
However, there remain some major contents andpolicies in the draft that still need further consideration to devise the bestpossible policies. It also requires more time to be comprehensively perfectedto ensure its conformity with the Constitution and consistency with the legalsystem, Cuong noted.
As the draft revised Land Law holds specialimportance and has considerable impact on socio-economic activities andpeople’s life, after consulting with the Government, the NA Standing Committeedecided to propose the NA reschedule the voting on this draft to the nextsession to continue perfecting the bill before submitting it for approval, headded./.
