Three-day censure debate locked in

The censure debate will be held over three days, Nov 25-27, and the voting will be on Nov 28, Deputy House Speaker Charoen Chankomol said on Wednesday.

This was agreed on during today's meeting of government and opposition whips.

Of the total 42 hours of scheduled debate, 30 hours would be for the opposition and 12 hours for the prime minister and three other ministers being grilled to defend themselves.

The debate will be televised live on Channel 11.

Jurin Laksanavisit, the opposition chief whip, said he was concerned the government and opposition MPs would take too much time protesting about each other, so whips of both sides had been told to make sure that they strictly observe the House regulations.
