The Standing Committee on State Structure discussed on
December 22 several law drafts relating to Parliament and Parliamentary
procedures. These included one prepared by MPs including U.Enkhtuvshin, on
procedures; one on legislation prepared by MPs including Kh.Temuujin; another
one on session procedures prepared by MPs including Su.Batbold; and one on
rules of the session prepared by MPs including S.Byambatsogt.

A working group headed by Ts.Munkh-Orgil had reviewed the
drafts, some of which cover the same ground. The Committee went through the
report of the group and decided to take the draft submitted by Enkhtuvshin and
others as the basis, and to use supplementary provisions from the others.
Kh.Temuujin asked for a deferment of the final discussion as he wished to
review his draft under the new situation.

During the committee discussions, the Chief of the MPP
group, D.Lundeejantsan, said Temuujin’s draft was divisive. Temuujin’s answer
was that his draft aimed at improving the performance of some of the newer MPs.
Parliament was wasting money in many cases, he said, and regretted that
Lundeejantsan and Ts.Nyamdorj were blocking its discussion.
