A meeting of the secretaries of the House of Representatives Political Ethics Review Committee will be held on the afternoon of the 16th. The opposition party plans to request that members of the Abe and Nikai factions attend the review committee, and there is also a proposal to target all members whose refunds have been confirmed.
The Liberal Democratic Party is considering holding a review committee to gain the cooperation of the opposition party in order to pass the new budget bill within the fiscal year. Some opposition parties believe that the budget bill should not be deliberated unless there is a guarantee that a review panel will be set up.
