Regarding the draft Law on Urban Development Management, the Chairman of the Committee on Law and Justice also requested the Government to soon issue a document clarifying the reason for the proposal to withdraw this content from the Ninth Session Program and to have a direction to adjust the program accordingly. Through coordination with the Ministry of Justice, the Committee on Law and Justice found that this is a draft Law related to the reorganization of the apparatus and urban development. If it is not yet qualified to be submitted to the National Assembly at the upcoming session, a written request is needed.
