Tokyo, May 28 (Jiji Press)--Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party again proposed drafting a provision that would allow lawmakers' terms of office to be extended during large-scale disasters, as part of parliamentary debates on amending the Constitution on Thursday. "We need to start work" on details of the emergency provision, LDP lawmaker Yoshitaka Shindo said at a meeting of the House of Representatives Commission on the Constitution. The major opposition Centrist Reform Alliance requested a limit on the cabinet's right to dissolve the Lower House. The cabinet's exercise of the right to dissolve the Lower House "contradicts" maintaining the functioning of parliament, CRA Secretary-General Takeshi Shina said. "We need to include a provision in the Constitution or laws to limit the right to dissolve the Lower House," he said. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
