NLA bows out after 218 laws

The National Legislative Assembly met for the last time yesterday after passing 218 laws since it was appointed on October 11, 2006, by the military junta that deposed Thaksin Shinawatra as prime minister.

Listing the legislature's achievements, Speaker Meechai Ruchuphan said the assembly had held 95 sessions, answered more than 100 enquires and passed one emergency decree during its existence.

 The assembly acknowledged 100 reports from its standing committees, he added.

Meechai thanked assembly members for their work and cooperation. He wished those who sought to enter politics success, and others to remain impartial.

He recognised the work of parliamentary staff, who often worked late without overtime.
