House of Councilors to organize issues for online deliberation at plenary session August 23, 6:33
With the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the House of Councilors has decided to sort out the issues for conducting the deliberations of the plenary session online, and is investigating overseas cases that have already been introduced.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, in order to avoid a crowded state in the ordinary Diet, measures were taken such as sitting at an interval at the main conference hall.
The House of Councilors has decided that it may be necessary to take further measures, and has decided to sort out the issues for conducting the deliberations of the plenary session online.
Then, the members of the Parliamentary Steering Committee will be interviewing the members of the Parliament in the United Kingdom and Spain who are introducing online for deliberation and voting.
However, it is expected that the plenary session will not be held if the Constitution does not allow more than one-third of all members of the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives to attend the deliberations.
